Faculty are pushing for DePaul President A. Gabriel Esteban to commit to actionable change against racism.
Professor Valerie Johnson, of DePaul’s political science department, sent a statement to Esteban Friday following the release of an open letter detailing issues faced by DePaul’s Black community. The letter, which was spearheaded by both the DePaul University Black Leadership Coalition (DPUBLC) and the Black Student Union (BSU), was sent to the president April 26.
Following the letter’s release, Esteban responded via a statement to DPUBLC, according to university representatives.
