Ahh, fall at Tufts. It's the perfect time to grab a flannel and enjoy the numbered days of tolerable weather. If you're like me, you've been awaiting your return to the Hill since mid-June and couldn't be happier to be here. If you're really really like me, you spent every cognitively functional moment of summer at work and are actually looking forward to class as a refreshing change of pace from seemingly luciferian customers. And if you are exactly like me, you're still coming down from your endorphin-induced high from the realization that, miraculously, your adjacent Wren suite isn't full of guys that have groped you on various frat dance floors. Needless to say, this year is off to a promising start.
It's late on Friday night, and this guy in your French class has just convinced you to go back to South with him for some deep one−on−one"conversation."

You're finally getting it on and feeling great when out of nowhere he finishes and proceeds to check the time. In your drunken haze you wonder how long you've been there only to give yourself a "Well, f−−k" in horror as you realize the amount of time you've been going at it — less than a minute.

In fall 2010, still green behind the ears, I became aware that many students supported establishing a department of Africana studies with a fully resourced undergraduate major. I heard repeatedly that other institutions, such as Brown and Harvard, had strong and vibrant departments. But Tufts did not; indeed we were not growing, we were not renowned. In fact, our current minor was under-resourced. What did that say about Tufts' commitment to academic diversity and inclusion?
