Women of color at the University of Michigan

Campus Lockdown conference at University of Michigan, Saturday, March 15, 2008.

In response to a number of women of color being denied tenure recently at the University of Michigan, there is a growing crowd of folks at U of M as well as other universities drawing attention to the situation and trying to advocate on their behalf, and for diversity at the university, in general.

Piya Chatterjee, University of California, Riverside
Angela Davis, University of California, Santa Cruz (via teleconference)
Rosa Linda Fregoso, University of Southern California
Ruthie Gilmore, University of Southern California
Fred Moten, Duke University
