By Quintez Brown —
Black faculty are leaving the University of Louisville in staggering numbers and nothing has been done about it. As a black student, I am worried.
At a recent U of L trustees’ committee meeting, the vice provost for diversity and international affairs described a “major decline” of African-American faculty in 2018. The data shows that 38 African-American faculty members had left in the period between 2013-2017 but in this past year the university saw 17 black faculty members leave.
