Maryland's Minority Students Rally for Diversity Official
Hundreds of students at the University of Maryland at College Park, in one of the larger rallies in many years on the campus, on Thursday protested the elimination of a full-time position devoted to diversity efforts, The Washington Post reported. Cordell Black, associate provost for equity and diversity, will lose that title, but will remain as a tenured faculty member. University officials attributed the change to budget cuts, but students said that the move reflected a dangerous lack of commitment to diversity issues on the campus.
