Statement by Clyde McGregor on behalf of ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï College Board of Trustees

At our quarterly Board meeting yesterday, the Trustees of ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï College discussed postings on social media by an ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï faculty member.

These postings are anti-Semitic and abhorrent. We deplore anti-Semitism and all other forms of bigotry. They have no place at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï.

These grave issues must be considered expeditiously. In consultation with President Marvin Krislov, the Board has asked the administration and faculty to challenge the assertion that there is any justification for these repugnant postings and to report back to the Board.

From its founding, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï College has stood for inclusion, respect, and tolerance. We still do.

Clyde S. McGregor ’74, Chair, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï College Board of Trustees
