Disturbed By Speech
Subject
Letter to the editor from a student who took issue with President Olin Robison's speech for MLK day. According to the student, the speech was exclusionary to "minority" Middlebury students and insensitively focused on the school's "continued financial sacrifice of the College in its efforts to share Middlebury's educational tradition with 'minorities.'"

Coverage
"It seemed [Robison] was shifting the blame for the College's financial difficulties onto the shoulders of those on financial aid-- no worse yet, of those minority students on financial aid, because the fact that minority students are not the only ones who receive financial aid was not mentioned."
"The self-righteous tone disturbed me, as he [Robison] spoke of all 'we' (who is we?) have done for our 'minority students.'"
