White Boys’ Club? White Faculty Still Dominates in National Stats

At the recent 75^th reunion of my college radio station, WHRB-FM in Cambridge, Mass., I was struck how the campus had a Vietnamese food truck prominently serving lunch to a diverse crowd.

It wasn’t “pahked” in Harvard Yard, but just outside by the Science Center.

If only that truck was around when I was there as a student.

I don’t think I’m making too much of a demand.

A food truck serving Asian comfort food would have made me, a Filipino kid from California, feel right at home.

Asian anything would have helped. And a food truck. The university president could have parked it himself and driven it away by 2 pm.

Better still would have been something more lasting ― like an Asian American Studies Department.
