Please take a few moments to listen to this broadcast from NPR's Morning Edition. This is an example of the awful way so many black people have been treated by academic institutions -- including the school I graduated from and currently work for. It is also an example of how things have appropriately changed.
This brought tears to my eyes. Especially as I thought of the little black girl I know who lives in a poor neighborhood, has her nose in a book and just wants to be a teacher...
