“food for thought”
It is truly heartening to read about this acknowledgement of injustice to these nine black young men who stood up for principle. Although almost 36 years later, this admission by the University is a good sign that I hope will be followed by other institutions of higher education to review their records of injustice to not just minorities but also to many foreign students who are often dealt with in an insensitive manner. As a current faculty member at another state institution, I have seen foreign born players dealt with unjustly. I hope this article will provide all administrators with food for thought regarding their policies and actions affecting those who come from minority communities and other countries. In a global labor market such unjust actions could have far reaching consequences at some later date.
