Faculty responds to Ramsey’s Halloween photo in open letter

By Olivia Krauth–

Some U of L faculty members are teaming up by responding to President James Ramsey’s Halloween costume in an open letter to Ramsey.

Avery Kolers from the philosophy department sent the copy of the letter to faculty today, asking people to join in signing it.

“Truth be told, this latest incident is only one of a drumbeat of crises that have embarrassed the university and made many ashamed to be associated with it. Years of effort – and millions of dollars spent – to painstakingly build the University’s reputation in academia and standing in the community have been overshadowed,” Kolers said in the open letter.
