Diverse: Academy, AAUP Confronted on Low Faculty Diversity
Faculty members concerned about diversity took the academy as well as the American Association of University Professors to task for not doing enough to promote diversity at one session of AAUP�s 93rd annual meeting, �Telling the Truth at Difficult Times,� which started June 7 and concluded Sunday.
�Every time I come to AAUP, maybe I need to have my glasses checked, [but] it�s always been a [predominately] White organization,� said Dr. Anne Friedman, vice president for community colleges at Professional Staff Congress, a union that represents City University of New York workers. �We talk about issues of race and diversity among students, but we need to also talk about issues of race and diversity among faculty.�
