"All of us, as members of the College community. share in the responsibility for making equal opportunity an actual, functioning condition of life at this College. To insure the effectiveness of the Affirmative Action Program I am taking personal responsibility for its management and will work closely with the Vice-President and the Dean of Faculty explaining and monitoring the procedures pertinent to the requirements of the program." - Gail Thain Parker
"Insofar as I understand the law, the College is bound not to discriminate; we cannot discriminate against white males any more than we can discriminate against black women. In the case of faculty hiring, we must be sure that we actively recruit a diverse group of candidates because it is only in this way that we can have any hope of increasing the number of women and minorities on the faculty." This document was attached to "An Open Letter to the Trustees of Bennington College" in Gail Parker's Presidential Files. (box 2 of 4)
