BREAKING: Mary Spellman Resigns as Dean of Students (Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, CA)
The Forum ^ | November 12, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 11/12/2015 1:30:58 PM PST by abb

At 12:02 p.m. on Thursday, November 12, Mary Spellman resigned as Dean of Students following calls for her resignation after students of color articulated concerns about the Dean of Students office being unsupportive towards students of marginalized identities, and two students yesterday began hunger strikes calling for her resignation. Additional coverage coming later — find Spellman’s email to the CMC community below.

Dear CMC Community:

Since 2010 I have been privileged to serve as Dean of Students at Claremont McKenna College. Today I am submitting my letter of resignation, effective immediately. I do so with sadness beyond words, because these nearly six years have been the most rewarding and fulfilling of my life, but also with the conviction that it is the right thing to do for the school and the students I care about so deeply.

I have been grateful for the support of the Administration and the heartening encouragement I have received from so many of my students, former students and colleagues. Among the calls, texts and emails I have received is a student who wrote:

“You’ve inspired me in my time at CMC. Please stay strong and realize students like me need you to stay here…I will always be honored to consider you a mentor, a role model, and above all, friend.”

And a faculty member who wrote:

“I also recognize how much you have worked to make our community more inclusive… I know I join many fellow faculty members and students in expressing my full support and confidence in you as Dean of Students here at CMC.”

To all who have been so supportive, please know how sorry I am if my decision disappoints you. I believe it is the best way to gain closure of a controversy that has divided the student body and disrupted the mission of this fine institution. Most important, I hope this will help enable a truly thoughtful, civil and productive discussion about the very real issues of diversity and inclusion facing Claremont McKenna, higher education and other institutions across our society.

Sincerely,

Mary

It’s all part of the longer play. If they can get enough of this happening, then the support for forgiving student loans gets a boost, because of the failure of institutions themselves. .... follow the money.

[ They are unable to control the monsters they created. ]

And the more they feed the monsters by capitulating the more ravenous those monster will become.

It is pop-corn time at the colleges

This is not going to disrupt the lives in many conservatives.

I haven’t heard any demands for officers to resign because of racism at my NRA meetings.

It’s awesome until it dawns on you that only Blacks can fill those positions and soon 90% of our campuses will not only be Leftist assholes, but will also be Black revisionist control freaks implementing the radical Black agenda.

Think Angela Davis running our universities on every campus.

Leftism destroys everything, and create nothing. Obama right down to the universities.
