President Gutmann Challenged By Africana Studies Staff

Several senior faculty members in the Africana Studies Department are pretty upset with President Amy Gutmann. In this guest column, the columnists voice their objections to what they feel as the president's consistently non-diverse appointments into high-ranking administrative positions. They've made it clear that they will not be attending President Gutmann's annual diversity dinner. One quote stated:

Not only has President Gutmann failed to show leadership in diversifying the highest levels of University administration, those individuals appointed by President Gutmann have often modeled her example and made similarly nondiverse appointments of vice provosts, associate deans and other high-ranking administrative staff.
