Professor Bu and Professor Cushman release joint statement on tensions between the two

President Bottomly has affirmed in a college-wide announcement the fact that the College will not tolerate any racial and/or ethnic discrimination between members of the Wellesley College community, as well as that the College remains committed to free speech.

Bu and Cushman have also released a final joint statement stating that they are communicating closely with Bottomly and will meet in the next week to discuss the issues that have surfaced. In the announcement, they note that the tensions were “were political and not personal.” They also indicate that the situation may have been misinterpreted “both locally and in the larger global context.” They also expressed a mutual wish for the community, especially students, to remain patient in this process.
