ABC News (US version) has a short article on its website about prior racial problems in Cambridge, MA, and at Harvard and MIT; see:
http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=8170735 The larger issue is how well represented are African-Americans as faculty in our institutions of higher learning (outside of traditionally Black colleges)? Apparently, not very well. Can departments of psychology claim to have any better representation? Maybe summer reading lists can add Robert Guthrie's "Even the Rat was White" as a prompt for some self-reflection.
