Harvard Joins the Club
Harvard’s first year class is a milestone in the university’s nearly 400 year-old history. Trinity’s been there for a while. More and more universities will be welcoming a majority of students of color in the years ahead.
In the most diverse society the world has ever known, supporting diverse student populations in college is both a moral imperative and a social necessity for our nation’s future.
Higher education must do more to assert its independence and to stand up for our students who are marginalized through the bans on diversity, equity and inclusion programming.
Dr. Gay’s resignation as Harvard’s president must not be allowed to stymie the pursuit of racial justice in higher education.
Our real leadership responsibilities demand that college presidents speak with moral clarity. There is no place in higher education for anti-semitism, advocacy for genocide, or any other form of racial or ethnic hatred.
