The professors claimed in their letter the tenure decision told the academic community they consider some areas of study more valuable than others.
Hundreds of professors at universities and colleges nationwide joined Harvard University faculty members and students in criticizing the Ivy League's decision not to grant associate professor Lorgia García Peña tenure.
The university denied García Peña, who has been teaching at the university since 2013, tenure on November 27, according to. Regarded as an excellent professor and expert in the field of ethnic studies, students and faculty members at Harvard and other universities considered the denial a reflection of the university's opinion of not only García Peña, but of the subject matter she studies.
"Moreover, Harvard's efforts toward a cluster hire in the area of ethnicity, indigeneity, and migration are directly contradicted by this denial of tenure, signaling that the university is not, in fact, interested in supporting these areas of study as legitimate fields of research," the letter stated.
On December 2, the Harvard Ethnic Studies Coalition delivered a list of demands to Bacow and Gay, including the establishment of a Department of Ethnic Studies. Gay told students that she was committed to Ethnic Studies, according to the"Upon further interrogation, the irony in Dean Gay's argument becomes obvious," the coalition wrote in the Medium post.
