Mead's racist screed in context: It's past time for the NYU Politics Department to hire Black tenure-track faculty. They have ZERO.

Lack of #BIPOC faculty creates and institutionalizes other failures, like failing to support, mentor, and graduate Black PhD students. This has got to change.

See @clara_bmc's great thread on this. https://twitter.com/clara_bmc/status/1271556245267214336?s=20
Meanwhile, NYU boasts a historically diverse incoming cohort, with 12% African American students. https://twitter.com/profmichelson/status/1287859409381519361?s=20
Addendum: At my home institution faculty are facing a haze of terminations and furloughs members, but we actually need to do some hiring. #OUBlackFaculty found that just 0.05% of faculty at Ohio University are Black. This needs to change, too. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RCFX99LpwK1n0tsTZspXJWA7kkKQBjA6/view?fbclid=IwAR3m7dpK4cm52fbMRNN_F8BUtuk80K7A7MMZyv3T8OTbNKw0mtZErbR_WtI
