UNIVERSITY TUFTS c Office of the Dean of Students
April 17,1997
To the Tufts Community:
Earlier this semester, Dean Reitman and I met with members of the Asian-American community,who expressed concem about some elements of a disciplinary case that was brought last semester.This letter is the outcome of our discussion.
Last fall, a disciplinary panel suspended an Asian-American student for a semester and required that the student write a paper on violence before returning to Tufts, as the penalty for an especially serious physical assault against another student, who was white. The white student received deferred suspension (Probation, Level Two), 75 hours of community service in a university center which would focus the work on issues of racial and ethnic diversity, and a referral for alcohol counseling for verbal assault (the use of fighting words). c Members ofthe Tufts Asian American community were concerned about two aspects of the decision: a) whether weight was given to the element of racial harassment; and
b) the assignment of a paper on violence, which they took to mean that there were no circumstances under which a violent response to verbal provocation could be understood. By 2 comparison, the community service requirement seemed to them unresponsive to the racism that underlay the white student’s violation. This perceived inequality of the two penalties seemed to some students to reflect the university’s insensitivy to the impact of racism on members of the communities of color at Tufts.
These are important concerns and deserve response. This letter, coming long after the weitself was resolved, is an effort to address the questions and concerns that have not I diminished with the passage of time.
First, the panel did give weight to the special provocation of racist slurs, not only by reducing the usual two-semester suspension for serious physical assault to one, but also by L initiating the charge of verbal assault against the other student and imposing a serious penalty, which includes a notation on the student’s transcript.
Second, in determining the educational aspects ofthe consequences, the panelists and CSL felt that the 75 hours of community service (three times the usual amount imposed, and representing two full-time work weeks, with the expectation that the service would take place in the Asian-American community) would give the student time to reflect on the nature of bigotry. In comparison, the requirement of a paper, which may be fulfilled in anonymity in the library could be seen as less onerous. In short, hearing panels, like juries, are composed of individuals and arrive at decisions based on their individual and collective interpretations of the evidence. I don’t always agree with the results, but I do trust the process-that the panel members wrestle with the evidence and the testimony, evaluate the circumstances, consider the range of consequences, and strive for objectivity in their judgments. In this instance, I cannot disagree with the overall result: the penalty for the Asian American student reflected the seriousness of the physical attack mitigated by the nature of the provocation. The panel not only weighed but initiated the charge of verbal harassment during the proceedings, and the serious penalty imposed neither excuses the white student’s drunken state nor diminishes his accountability for his behavior.
On the other hand, since the penalty evoked such a different response among many in the Asian community from that intended, it is important to acknowledge that response and to learn from it, in hopes of avoiding painful misunderstandings in the future. What might be the result of what we have learned from this dialogue?
1. Educational penalties: Disciplinary panel3 spend many hours hearing and weighing testimony and arriving at a conclusion. Although appropriate penalties can educate, perhaps it is unreasonable to expect that a panel will be able to devise the most effective educational penalty within the constraints of the time available to it. Professional staff within the office of the Dean of Students are exploring the possibility of developing guidelines for educational penalties or involving cultural center directors in defining the exact content of an educational penalty resulting from racial harassment. For example, in the instance under discussion, the suggestion of some members of the Asian community that a paper focussed less on violence and more on dealing with the cumulative effects of racism on its victims and how people of color may manage the special pressures they are subjected to might well have been more instructive and of greater long-term value to the student of color and would have been a clear acknowledgment that racism, encountered repeatedly, takes a toll on one’s self-esteem and self restraint.
2. Clarifying the university’s stance on racial harassment: The College of Arts and Sciences distributes to all inconing students a brochure on bigotry, which wams that some behaviors may be subject to disciplinary penalties. The Pachyderm, too, notes that harassment because of one’s race is prohibited and can result in disciplinary action. To insure that students realize that consequences may be severe, the 1997-98 Pachyderm and Bigotty brochure will include the information that suspension and expulsion are among the possible outcomes.
3. Improved communication: The reason for publicizing the outcomes of disciplinary cases is to educate the community and to define community standards for behavior. If the community is to learn from the experience of others, the reasons for disciplinary outcomes and penalties must be clearly communicated. In the future, in addition to offering interviews to the student reporters about the results of cases, our office will publish its own summary, including the rationale for the decision to the extent that it is known.
4. Advice available to students who feel they have been victimized by racial harassment: A pool of advocates, both for students considering bringing a disciplinary complaint and for those against whom a complaint has been brought, is being developed. In addition, some members of the Administrators Diversity Group, a group of administrators interested in issues of diversity, are being trained as advocates. Anyone interested in being trained or in consulting with an advocate should get in touch with my office.
5. Community Conversations: Some instances of bigoted behavior, offensive and hurtful though they may be, may qualify as protected speech and, thus, cannot be dealt with through the disciplinary system. Because actions are not punishable does not mean they are condoned by the university, nor does it mean that they are not potentially damaging to the community if not addressed in other ways. Community Conversations are designed to offer an opportunity for public discussion of issues that evoke strong and conflicting reactions among members ofthe Tufts community, with the goal of creating increased understanding ofthe issue at hand. Students interested in initiating a Community Conversation about the topics in this letter or other issues should get in touch with me.
6. Other possibilities: The Task Force on Race, convened by President DiBiaggio and mce President Bernstein, is exploring a wide range of questions about the impact of race on campus - on both students of color and on white students. Although the Task Force is still formulating its recommendations, one campus need seems clear: increased opportunities for talking about -and learning about -issues of racial difference. Developing a well-informed group of students who can provide those opportunities (similar to the peer leaders for Sex- Talk and Team-Q), as was suggested at our meeting, is dependent upon student response and commitment but would be worth exploring, if there is sufficient interest, and would be supported by the Office of the Dean of Students.
I invite responses to this letter, either in writing or in person. You are always welcome to make an appointment to meet with me to talk, to offer suggestions, or to ask questions- whether about this incident, similar issues or any campus concern.
Sincerely,
Bobbie Knable Dean of Students

SCIENCE OR RELIGION: Which rules reason or faith? A dialogue with Niles Eldredge & Margaret Wertheim.
Sunday, 27 April I 7 p.m. Cohen Auditorium
Niles Eldredge, curator of the Museum of Natural History and author of such books as Reinventing Darwin and Millennium, is a well-known scholar of biotechnology and also the limits of science. Margaret Wertheim, a scientist by training and author most recently of Pythagoras' Trousers, is interested in the parallels between the marginalization of women in science and women in religion. Additionally she is concerned that the separation of science and religion will continue to cause damage to our society and values. Wertheim and Eldredge will discuss such questions as: Is it possible to have both religious conviction and scientific reason in our lives? and Should science have morals?
Tickets are available to students of the GSAS beginning April I4 and to the general Tufk University community beginning April 2 I. Tickets are FREE and can be picked up at the Cohen Auditorium box ofice Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (627-3493)
