As hundreds of students gathered in front of Honnold-Mudd Library last Thursday, anticipating the beginning of the Blackout March in solidarity with marginalized people of color throughout the country and around the world, one of the organizers issued this reminder to the white allies in the group: “You are here to support the space, not […]

Once again, we’re at that point in the LASPA Center search process where we await an announcement of who has been selected as director for the center, which has been slated to launch later this year. I remember, however, the controversy and confusion that resulted from last year’s search, which was terminated in its last […]
