Dear Dr. Marc Parlange,
On April 12, 2021, the Board of Trustees of the University of Rhode Island (URI) announced your selection as our next President. Sadly, the announcement came as a disappointment to many members of the URI community – faculty, staff and students – who firmly believe that your selection arose from a grossly flawed, discriminatory hiring process that harms African Americans, specifically, and the diversity and inclusion efforts of the whole URI community.
I write (A) to inform you of the history of systemic racism at URI up to and including your appointment as yet another White, male President, the seriously flawed recruitment process that led to your selection, and the toxic environment and discord that you most certainly will inherit the moment you assume your new position, and (B) to implore you to rescind your acceptance.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
