Black administrative issues:
Black Faculty are leaving, and not being replaced.
Are their positions are being elivated? It seems that there is no clear agenda to alieve the situation.
How to react to black perspective students, when the school is not minority friendly.
Theological education day was today, November 4, 2005. This is where tours of the campus and classes, so perspective students can get a feel for the school.
A loss of money for black students groups due to lack of black professors (money tied to professions, etc).
The administration is defunding ministerial staff and ministerial events. Mdiv has become more academic.
Main questions:
What are the main issues, administrative issues, are blacks repersented?
Is there black support?
Do we have to do the leg work?
Should we be doing more about actual recruitment?
The decision that needs to be made:
Do we work to recruit more blacks?
or Do we leave and let the funds leave with us so there will financial sting and possibly a interal change in strategy?
