In a message sent out to all faculty this week it was announced the college is hiring Rankin and Assc to do a study on the racial climate at the college! How much is this costing??Didn't we hire an expert to be our diversity dean? Why do we need to hire an outside expert to tell her what needs to be done? We either need her or the consultant. This was not the time to hire consultants to tell us what we should already know! |

Terrible... why is this necessary? Why do you need to do a study? Have some student do a thesis... or better yet... get off your duff in Markle and walk around campus and talk to people. |

I'll tell you what...I'll give you the results of the study and I'll only charge half. Here you go...
Lafayette College Racial Climate
White People - A whole lot
Non White People - Not so much
There you go. Send the check to home address please. Ridiculous. _________________ Pard94 |

This is pretty funny. The College has been "studying" this issue ever since 1968. All they have to do is listen to their alumni of color and students who have transfered.
I have to become a consultant when I grow up...... |

Whats more troubling here is that the newly hired dean hasn't the confidence to have an opinion - going to "ole" on that and let the consultant deliver the obvious message. As Lafalum implied, thats pretty sad. |
