- With administrative terms winding down, the spring will be time for our new Dean, closing in on his third year, to ‘shuffle the cabinet’ and appoint a new administration to take affirmative action on racial equity in Education.
Questions were raised about why I said “time for reflection” when I should have said time for action on racial equity. Point taken.
