Abstract
"We have been aware, on a personal and divisional level, of
the closet cultural racist ideologies displayed by various
individuals within the other divisions at this college for some time
now, and, the continued existence of this chauvinism is indeed one
of the major reasons for the "separate but equal" status within the
discipline of music at this institution. Furthermore, it was our
understanding (based upon conversations with the deans earlier this
year), that until such time as Bennington College sees fit to change
it's policy regarding the existence of a Black Music Division, this
type of slanderous, reactionary, political activity would no longer
be tolerated."
