Title
Students of color neglected
Subject
Letter to President McCardell and Deans in the form of a student op-ed. This letter is calling for significant administrative change/action in order to support students of color. Authors call for aggressive recruitment and retainment tactics for faculty/students of color, as well as calls for "curricular changes that reflect a dedication to multicultural education". The author also points out how many cultural organizations that carry a majority of the burden of retaining and supporting students of color are student-run. They receive no compensation and limited administrative support for the massive job that they do in terms of supporting/protecting students of color.

Coverage
"As it stands now, Middlebury is not an attractive educational option for the majority of students of color"
"These [AAA, MASO, Alianza, Bi-Cultural Center] are all student-initiated and student-led groups that have served to retain some of the students of color at our college. The students are, in fact, retaining themselves without adequate financial or personal support from the college, this is not their responsibility. They came here to get an education.... not to become overwhelmed by a complex burden of survival, educating the community about their cultures, and academic work. These groups need both money and administrators who can relieve that burden."
