Racial justice is impossible without institutional support

Racial justice is impossible without institutional support

Authors urge the administration to be more forthright and proactive about enacting the anti-racist programming and initiatives that were promised over the summer (plan for the $500,000 donation, DEI action plan, etc. ). Authors state that not only is Middlebury lacking "a concrete framework for addressing the racism that is embedded in the fabric of our institution", but that the administration does not have "adequate clarity", "urgency" and is generally "unprepared".
