Asian/Asian American in the Argus

Content of this collection spans from about 2005 to about 2008.

The first folder consists of three cloth signs emblazoned with slogans supporting the tenure of Professor Isaac.

The second folder contains a CD with a variety of documents. A few dozen photos from a rally for Professor Isaac's tenure, a letter to then-future President Roth about the Isaac issue, a Wespeak about Asian American studies, and miscellaneous meeting notes and attendance sheets, are among the documents.

The third and last folder includes paper copies of some of the photos from the rally to support Isaac, a letter to various Asian American activist listservs about the Isaac issue, a letter to Williams BiLGATA about protesting Wesleyan President Douglas Bennet's honorary Williams degree because of his lack of support for Professor Isaac, and numerous letters from concerned students and alumnus to President Roth expressing support for Isaac. Also included is a pamphlet entitled "Diversity University?-Asian American Studies at Wesleyan, Past, Present, and Future" which highlights some of the protestor's key issues. Other documents have more to do with the AASC as a student group-meeting and organization fliers, a letter to the Student Budget Committee (SBC) about funding requests, mission statements, and an Asian American Studies Cluster introduction. Finally, a letter detailing the request to reconsider Professor Isaac's tenure, signed as a petition by hundreds of students.
