Title A name given to the resource Abenaki Denounce 9/11 Flag Memorial Vandalism Subject The topic of the resource 9/11 memorial of miniature flags stuck into the ground in front of Mead Chapel is defaced (the flags are removed) by student Anna Shireman- Grabowski '14.5. She made this decision as a form of protest/activism, saying that the memorial was a desecration of allegedly Abenaki burial grounds. She then later clarifies that the "local Abenaki community should in no way be implicated in [the events]", nor did she consult with any members of the community prior to the action. The administrative response was a potentially punitive investigation/hearing of Shireman Grabowski, as well as a denial of the presence of Abenaki burial grounds on campus. Shireman Grabowski's act of was then denounced by a leader of the Middlebury Abenaki community.

"This does not mean that there are no native mortuary remains to be found on or near the campus. Rather, it means that none have been excavated or found,' Hart clarified, ultimately calling the possibility that the College sits atop a sacred Abenaki burial ground, 'unlikely, although not impossible,' and only verifiable after an unlikely and 'undesirable' archaeological dig." administrative action anti-racism colonialism decolonization imperialism Indigenous student activism Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Addressing Our College's History Subject The topic of the resource While the author doesn't necessarily endorse the actions of Shireman- Grabowski, he calls attention to the problematic history that is inherent in support for the American flag, as well as highlights Middlebury's history of racism that has yet to be rectified.

"At Middlebury, we rarely talk about the colonization and our college's role in the genocide of the Abenaki people who are still living in Vermont. Many of you who are reading this are probably sitting inside Proctor dining hall. Our dining hall is named after Redfield Proctor, Jr., who was the 59th Governor of Vermont. Proctor directly advocated for the forced sterilization bill that passed in the Vermont House of Representatives in 1931. Under this racist and classist policy, the Abenaki people were targeted for forced sterilization. In order to protect themselves, many Abenaki families were forced to deny their heritage, their language, and their culture in order to 'pass' as settlers in Vermont. In doing so the legacy of colonization continued." "The action on Sept. 11 should remind us that we have a duty to not only remember the 3,000 people who died 12 years ago but also address our history of colonization and the genocide of millions of indigenous people on this land we call 'America.'" administrative action anti-racism colonialism decolonization imperialism Indigenous racism student activism white supremacy Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource End the Feb Program Subject The topic of the resource In a letter to the editor, the author argues that the Feb program is racist in its lack of racial diversity, and overall results in more harm than benefits for actual Feb students.

We are almost exclusively white. There is a simple reason for this: the College only reports the diversity statistics of fall admits. Former Director of Admissions Bob Clagett said in a Campus article published in March 2010 that 'we tend not to offer February admission to American students of color unless they specifically ask for it.' By taking a lily-white February class, Middlebury looks much more diverse than we actually are." administrative action campus culture racial diversity student life Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Don't End the Feb Program Subject The topic of the resource Greg, Buckles, the Dean of Admissions responds to the article written by Zach Dennen, saying that his assertion that "the College 'only reports the diversity statistics of fall admits' is simply untrue". He states that all statistics used on the website and various admissions materials include statistics for the entire freshman class. The exception to this rule is the statistics for the federal report for the U.S. Department of Education's annual data collection program, which requires statistics each fall for enrollment.

Title A name given to the resource Racial Casting Call Criticized Subject The topic of the resource Claudio Medeiros, an Associate Professor of theater sends an email titled "Invitation to African, African- American and Latino Women" to nearly 100 recipients in order to find a female student to play the role of Elizabeth, a "wet nurse hired by a white couple to care for their newborn child, in the play "In The Next Room". Specifically, the email was sent to Alianza and AAA. This prompted an ongoing email chain of outraged student emails, which soon became a broader conversation about race and racism at Middlebury. There was then a forum to deal with these issues.

So please, in the final year of my Middlebury experience, I would appreciate if the theater department only think to solicit me for roles that are fitting for EVERYONE to be casted in, if it is that my creative contribution is truly valued. "- DeSouza "'Classrooms at Middlebury are very exclusive... Across any department, in any classroom, is apparent,' said Tim Garcia '14 at the forum.
