It has been seven months since Provost Biddy Martin delivered the first Academic State of the University Address in Cornell’s history. The speech emphasized the importance of improving faculty and student diversity, but according to Charles Walcott, dean of students, the University may not have done as well as it would have liked in these past months.
“Have we been doing as well on diversity as we should be, probably not. My sense is that we didn’t,” Walcott said.
