  • April 14, 2019 to the Regents of the University
    April 14, 2019 To the Regents of the University of Colorado: We are concerned about the selection of Mark Kennedy as the sole finalist for President of the University of Colorado. Contrary to claims made in CU’s press statement, Mr. Kennedy appears to be a divisive administrator with troubled relations to the public and to the media--not someone who would maintain CU’s academic rankings and public image, or bring together our diverse students, staff, and faculty. Colorado’s reputation as an open and inclusive place to live, work, and study would be damaged by the choice of Mr. Kennedy as President of the University of Colorado. As a member of Congress, Mr. Kennedy voted against stem cell research and against grants for colleges serving Black and Latinx students, and he voted twice against marriage equality. This record runs contrary to the Regents’ commitment to cutting-edge research and to “building a community of students, faculty, and staff in which diversity is a fundamental value.” Having a President with this voting record will make it difficult to recruit and retain faculty, staff, and students, especially those who are members of historically underrepresented, underserved, and marginalized groups within higher education. Mr. Kennedy’s record doesn’t reflect the values of voters in Colorado, who just elected Jared Polis as our first openly gay governor. Mr. Kennedy told the Denver Post that his position on marriage equality has changed with the social consensus, but CU needs a leader in diversity, not a follower. We would like to emphasize that our concerns about Mr.
