To the editors:
Re “College Appoints Diversity Leader,” news, July 22:
Promoting a diverse faculty at Harvard is a noble goal. But will persons with disabilities be included in the diversity goals of the faculty?
Of all of the individuals who have a long history of being denied access to equal opportunities, persons with disabilities remain off of the list of educational institutions that promote inclusionary programs. Do Harvard administrators believe that persons with disabilities are not capable of equal participation? Do Harvard administrators promote a secondary class of citizens because of their disabilities? Why is this subject seldom discussed in public? Why has The Crimson avoided this issue?
