NAACP takes UNH to task on diversity issues
WEST HAVEN >> After nearly three years of engagement with the University of New Haven over diversity issues, Greater New Haven NAACP President James Rawlings says he’s ready to throw up his hands.
“The problem is cultural sensitivity,” said Rawlings. “We found out when we peeled it back that it was across the campus. There’s no diversity in the faculty and/or senior administration.”
But UNH President Steven H. Kaplan says the NAACP and the UNH administration have similar goals. They simply disagree over how best to get there, he says.
