On Nov. 26, 70 Colgate students assembled in James B. Colgate Hall and requested a meeting with Interim President Jane Pinchin, members of her senior staff and trustees who were on campus for other meetings. The ensuing discussion focused primarily on issues surrounding diversity at Colgate. Some students also expressed concern about their safety in light of a Nov. 18 incident in which African-American students were harassed and threatened by strangers while walking on Oak Drive.
