Okay, thanks---although I'm not sure what on-going feud they're referring to. The law suit by the UDC against Vanderbilt was settled (in favor of the UDC) in 2005, and Vanderbilt chose not to appeal. There were no legal actions of any kind regarding the statue of Nathan Forrest, and no organized movement period against the statue. I never took any legal action against Vanderbilt or neo-Confederates and I'm sure it's far too late to sue The Tennessean or Vanderbilt for libel or job discrimination. The only possible legal action is my suing the woman from the Nashville NAACP for libel, and I haven't done that yet.

Here is an article on how the popular academic Michael Eric Dyson was snubbed by Vanderbilt. I was there at the time: the students wanted him, the faculty search committee wanted him. Only Dean Ettore Infante did not want him. He told one black faculty member that Michael Eric Dyson was not returning his calls---a direct lie, since, in fact, Michael Eric Dyson was on the other line with that black faculty member at the exact same time Infante said this.

The Dr. Ray Winbush quoted in the article was somehow forced from Vanderbilt and later headed the Race Relations Institute at Fisk University that I told you about. Even so, Vanderbilt refused to work with him, even after he moved to Fisk. He also is the main reason I joined the Green Party. He can be reached here, it appears:
Director, Institute for Urban Research Morgan State University 1700 E. Cold Spring Lane, Mont. D216 Baltimore, MD 37208, USA
Finally, note that the email sent by Vanderbilt spokesman Michael Schoenfeld to Princeton University history professor Nell Painter states that Vanderbilt was concerned for my safety. At no point did the Vanderbilt express any concern for my safety. They did not ask if I needed help or if I was receiving threats or provide any security, as they did for Gordon Gee when he received his one threat.
Maybe GQ would be interested: they ran a short article a few years ago about how friendly an environment Vanderbilt was for minorities.
Great, thanks for this and other new stuff from today. Fucking Vanity Fair won't run it because it concerns an ongoing feud at other sites or something, but waiting to hear back from Caryn Ganz at Rolling Stone and will send out some other e-mails today. The second piece, which will be far longer and focus on Vanderbilt and yourself, will probably take quite a while, so I'll go ahead and start e-mailing around to see who might be interested in buying it. Also got a call back from the hates crimes officer you mentioned, will try to talk to him tomorrow.
