By Olivia Krauth–

One week after racial tension in Threlkeld Hall became public, 41 professors, three staff members and 15 students sent an open letter to U of L officials expressing disapproval over how the situation was handled.

The letter was addressed to four U of L officials: President James Ramsey, Interim Provost Neville Pinto, Vice Provost for Diversity Mordean Taylor-Archer and Dean of Students Michael Mardis.

“We think a healthy racial climate, meaning one that is inclusive and equitable for all, is essential to U of L’s educational mission and must be actively cultivated,” the letter said.
