In a full Middleton Auditorium, President James Ramsey joined faculty and students to discuss diversity on campus today.
“Today, the stage is reserved for fighters,” Pan-African Studies chair Ricky Jones said, introducing Ramsey to the crowd of students, faculty and community members.
“This is not a ‘let anyone off the hook’ situation,” Jones said. “This is not that type of gathering. This is a gathering of truth.”
“We’ve hurt the very people we’re here to serve: the students,” Ramsey said, with an audibly trembling voice.
Three weeks ago, Ramsey got caught in a media firestorm after a photo of him and his staff dressed in stereotypical Mexican garb at a Halloween luncheon made headlines.
