Title A name given to the resource Students rally for greater diversity Subject The topic of the resource Students led and organized a protest outside of Old Chapel against administrative handling of "minority affairs" and voiced a desire for greater racial diversity within the student body. Rally was sponsored by AAA, Alianza, and the Middlebury Asian Student Organization. Specifically, the protesters were against the administration's consideration of Charles M. Burdick '63 as assistant to the president on minority affairs, due to Burdick being "completely underqualified and incapable of representing the diverse cultures which the position's criteria required". There was also the concern about the lacking racial diversity amongst the faculty itself. Following the protest, President McCardell addressed the group and met with some students following the rally. This all resulted in Burdick NOT being hired for the position described above.
