Title A name given to the resource Forum supports divestment Subject The topic of the resource Students participating in the Student Forum discussion brought up the issue of Apartheid in South Africa and called for Middlebury College to completely divest all of the funds that go to companies that do business in South Africa. This is because the students feel that the Sullivan Principles are inadequate "as means of alleviating, to any great degree, the problems of apartheid". The students, Layn Saint Louis and Charles King Mallory called on the Student Forum to put pressure on the administration to divest, which would hopefully spur other New England colleges to do the same.

According to Ardister, the College is unable to attract black faculty because of supply in demand ("the number of minority applicants across the country is low"). Additionally, according to the Ardister, President Robison promised to fund the hiring of three minority faculty members for the 1986 Winter Term.

Title A name given to the resource Policy defined Subject The topic of the resource Olin Robison, President of the College issued a statement regarding Middlebury's investment in companies that do business in South Africa. The statement reaffirmed its commitment to the official policy statement of 1981, which defended the College's investments in companies doing business in South Africa that abided by the Sullivan Principles. Robison also stated that the College currently is reviewing five companies that do business in South Africa that have yet to sign onto the Sullivan Principles. The article also mentions how this College policy of investment in particular companies based on their adherence to the Sullivan Principles contradicted the 1981 faculty vote that was strongly in favor of complete divestment.

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 Twilight Update Examines Minority Student Life Subject The topic of the resource The Twilight Committee makes suggestions to the admissions office in order to "step up minority student recruiting and make the campus more attractive to minority students." Fred Neuberger, the Director of Admissions, explained how at this time recruitment efforts of "minority" students were more focused on prospective black students rather than "Hispanic or other minority groups." The report from the committee also called for a separate budget for minority students, specific minority students scholarships, and an overall increase in the College's financial aid. In a survey done by the committee of current minority students, it was found that "typical responses were that the BSU is misunderstood and ignored, that white students avoid its cultural and social events and do not even think that the College should support its activity, there was also the feeling that the administration found BSU's presence an annoyance."

Title A name given to the resource Athletic Department Denies Allegations Subject The topic of the resource Indignation from the athletic department regarding a part of the Twilight Commission Report which states that BIPOC athletes "do not feel comfortable doing so here," regarding athletic participation. The director of athletics is upset that he wasn't informed prior to the release of the report and seems to be in disbelief that this finding is rooted in facts. Some coaches specifically target former athlete and former BSU president, Leroy Nesbitt, for the "negative information" in the report regarding the athletic department. Overall, coaches and the athletic department voiced sentiments that sports inherently "erased" racial prejudice and that they treated their players identically regardless of race.

I'm surprised anyone had the audacity to say that."- Reilly "Every member of the department agreed the very nature of sports inherently precludes racism."
