At a time when the college will ask the new Athletic Director and Head Basketball Coach to take on an additional significant duty in addition to their main position, the college has displayed a strong commitment to the men of the Malcolm X Institute for Black Studies.
The college has announced the new director of the MXIBS will hold a senior college management position as either an Assistant or Associate Dean. Currently, there are only two individuals at that key management level throughout the entire college.
This move signals the importance of the college’s support for students of color and reinforces the goal of improving student retention, especially among students of color.
