Dr. Cordell Black

If you saw the Diamondback this morning, you saw the articles about the possible closing of diversity offices on campus and the possible termination of Dr. Cordell Black. Now it appears that it will just be a radical restructuring of responsibilities, and that Dr. Black will be returning. While there have been many rumors flying around about all of this, this situation still reflects how important diversity on our campus is--hundreds of students are reported to be attending an emergency meeting to discuss the situation tonight. 

If you want to attend the meeting, it's from 6-8 pm tonight in the Nyumburu Cultural Center (if you're facing the front of Stamp, it's to the left). Even if you're not sure about what's happening, the meeting's a great place to learn about these issues and to separate fact from fiction.

Unfortunately I can't make it tonight, but if you go, please comment on this entry so that we can all hear what you thought of it! And look at tomorrow's Diamondback--I'm sure there will be media coverage of this meeting.
