Dear Colleagues:

Since such posts do not serve the mission of the Arts and Sciences Council or the University, the post has been removed at our request. We denounce racism, sexism and cultural bias. We ask our bloggers to respectfully consider all members of this blog's audience.

Lawrence and the executive committee,
Because it's often hard to tell in this medium, I just want to mention that the following note is sincere, not sarcastic. Thanks for your quick, thoughtful, and decisive response to this issue. You had to balance the free and open expression encouraged on this blog with other values that we hold dear. Lawrence publicly denounced the the offensive material and the executive committee met, deliberated, and acted. I think you handled it well.
Thank you.
