She stressed that each person has only one vote. VPAA Jackson and a guest objected to reducing the issue to numbers. Another guest pointed out how numbers do not necessarily tell the story when one considers situations such as Apartheid-era South Africa. A third guest noted that white faculty intentionally joined the university with appreciation for its HBCU heritage and that the language being used by the consultants is further dividing us. A senator noted his disappointment that the executive committee doesn’t look like him. President Sipes responded that only two of the four senate officers are white. Dr. Jackson argued that we need to confront the issue that we have a situation wherein a group of faculty have felt so marginalized that they have created their own caucus. She said that no matter what one’s intention is, the response to the concerns of others is the key."
