Several senior faculty members in the Africana Studies Department are pretty upset with President Amy Gutmann. In this guest column, the columnists voice their objections to what they feel as the president's consistently non-diverse appointments into high-ranking administrative positions.

One quote stated: Not only has President Gutmann failed to show leadership in diversifying the highest levels of University administration, those individuals appointed by President Gutmann have often modeled her example and made similarly nondiverse appointments of vice provosts, associate deans and other high-ranking administrative staff. The columnists: Camille Charles, Barbara Savage, Mary Frances Berry, Vivian Gadsden, Kenneth Shropshire and Tukufu Zuberi.
