Title A name given to the resource College's investment ethics questioned Subject The topic of the resource The article points out the discrepancies between Middlebury College's official investment policy and its actual actions. The College had not committed to investing only in signatory companies and is ambiguous toward its plans of divestment from "those companies which fail to implement Sullivan-type improvements in their South African subsidiaries." Apparently, in 1981, the faculty voted in favor of "divesting the College's shares in all American companies in South Africa" that do not comply with the Sullivan Principles. That said, this is not the official policy of the College. Apparently, the College had over $10 million invested in 31 American companies which had operations in South Africa, representing about 20% of the College's 1981 Securities Portfolio. While the board of trustees has announced three times that they plan to investigate the College's South African investments and their compliance with the Sullivan Principles, such findings have never been made public.

Title A name given to the resource Committee suggests improved conditions for minorities Subject The topic of the resource A report to the Community Council.

The criteria for residence in this center resulted in some controversy, because of its "intellectual interest and cultural background" requirement, as well as the recommendation that "African-American and Hispanic-American students be given priority for the rooms in the house". An amendment to this proposal was later added which makes no mention of student ethnicity in regard to membership in the Bicultural Center. The article also mentions the lack of "minority" tenured professors at the college.
