Last week we spoke Saint Mary's University Senior Research Fellow, Rachel Zellars, about the report that has been issued by the Saint Mary's Black Inclusion Strategy Working Group. The data presented in “Understanding the Challenges of the Black Community at Saint Mary’s University" is derived from interviews conducted with dozens of Black students, staff and faculty at SMU over a two year period, and documents a broad failure and abandonment of institutional commitments to Black students, faculty and staff. The report is available to all via the SMU Black Students' Society Instagram account. The link is in the group's bio. Topaz Nnani is President of the SMU African Student Society. After this interview aired, we reached back out to SMU and received this response: "We look forward to reviewing in detail the report and recommendations of the Black Inclusion Strategy Working Group. Saint Mary’s University is committed to supporting our Black community."
