Students Say College Hiring A White Professor Is An ‘Egregious’ OffenseStudents at Pomona College don’t want sociology professor Alice Goffman to work on their campus because of her race, Campus Reform reports. Goffman is white.The students at the Claremont, California academic institution wrote a letter to the school’s administrators demanding that an offer of employment extended to Goffman be rescinded on the basis of the professor’s race.The students argue that hiring Goffman is a repudiation of the college’s commitment to promote diversity and advance women of color.The open letter was produced by 128 “sociology students, alumni, and allies” who wished to express their “anger” and “concern” regarding Goffman’s hire — but not their names.They called the hiring a “failure” to work towards the goal of increasing the representation of professors of color.They say the solution to such prevent such a grave error from ever being repeated is to mandate “influential student positions on the hiring committee.”Not only that, the students suggested that because over 50 percent of the students of the Pomona sociology department are non-white, no more whites should be hired.
