A Statement from the Tenured Core Faculty
We regret and deplore President Wagner's recent use of the example of the infamous “3/5ths compromise” as a paradigm of good political practice in general, as a basis for thinking about university politics in particular, and more especially as a model for negotiating the future of the liberal arts at Emory. In their serious historical, political, ethical and philosophical failings, these remarks demonstrate a contrario the importance of the kind of liberal arts education to which we as a department remain uncompromisingly committed.
