    Senate Report : 2/10

    Ethos PAC presents

    list of demands

    Two members of Ethos, the organization for students of African descent at Wellesley College, presented a list of their demands to the Senate, which were first shared with administration on Dec. 8 during the fall semester. These demands focused on creating a more inclusive campus. Goals included hiring more faculty of African descent outside of the Africana studies department, creating an initiative to recruit more students of African descent and to admit more international students from Africa and the Caribbean. There are various dates by which Ethos hopes the college will have accomplished these goals, some as soon as within 2016.
