Location: Lower Herrick
Event Date: Mar. 22, 2019

You have probably read coverage in The Occidental pertaining to former trustee Jennifer Townsend Crosthwaite, her husband Barry Crosthwaite, and honorary degree recipient Paul Popenoe. As promised prior to Spring Break, ASOC is hosting a town hall listening session. In light of the additional information available, we will be expanding topics discussed to include blackface, anti-semitism, and eugenics. 

The event will include a very brief historical overview of relevant topics, context around the decisions made by college leadership, and a large portion of time for open comments. We welcome critical perspectives to best inform the ongoing work of ASOC around these issues.
