Charles Blow's column in today's NYT is worth a read. It gives a very important perspective on the race debate and crisis that is raging on many U.S. campuses. Seems to me that we need more black perspectives in this debate and university leadership ought to provide the leadership to make sure it happens! I was the president of a university without much diversity of any kind and I saw what a hole the lack of diversity left in our campus culture and in the intellectual perspective given to our students.
