I don't get it. What does a "plan to enhance diversity" have to do with
threatening letters and emails?!?
If people are getting threatening letters and emails, there is only one
valid way to respond to that: to find who is sending them and punish
them!
This agreement is blatant racism: the university is setting a goal to
"[increase] the number of full-time tenured black faculty members". Who
_cares_ how many full-time tenured black faculty members they have?
It's a university, and what matters is whether people are _learning_,
not what the faculty's skin color makeup is.
