In today's Hartford Courant, Phoebe Robeson Rounds schools the Yale administration in diversity: Why don't we have a say about who teaches us? Last semester, a group of undergraduates at Yale met with Nina Glickson, the assistant to President Richard Levin. She assured us that the Yale administration was doing everything in its power to promote diversity among the faculty. In a meeting last week, Deputy Provost Hamilton told me that Yale is not renewing the contract of Professor Allen - one of the few black women professors in the sciences at Yale. As does Mary Reynolds: Deputy Provost Andy Hamilton argues that Yale does not respond to student demands. Yet, history shows that Yale can listen to its students. In the 1960s, the newly formed Black Student Alliance at Yale demanded an African American studies program. Despite opposition, BSAY held a conference, submitted a petition to Yale's president and forged a community capable of undertaking the tremendous task of educating the administration, faculty and other students...Last week, dozens of Professor Connie Allen's former students submitted letters to President Richard Levin praising her teaching and mentorship. In April, 300 graduate students filed a formal grievance with the administration to request that Yale fulfill its stated commitment to diversity. In 30 years, will we look back and see the inauguration of a new generation of women scientists and scholars of color, or will we see Yale's missed opportunity to provide the best teaching and mentorship for all students?
