Boston City Council: We Support the Hearings on Diversity in Higher Education
We want full disclosure about the current state of diversity at colleges and universities in Boston. We want to know about concrete measures that are being taken to ensure equal access to education and jobs at these institutions.
Statements about diversity in higher education are not enough. We want action toward making Boston a great example of excellence and equality in higher education.

Why is this important?
The Boston City Council has begun a series of hearings to address diversity in Boston's institutions of higher education. While some institutions claim these hearings are not necessary, we believe that the hearings are necessary and we expect full participation from the Presidents and leadership of Boston's institutions of higher learning.
