In 1995, ethnic studies activists were disappointed when Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles rejected a proposal by the AAC which called for an increased focus on ethnic studies.
Knowles wrote in a letter to the AAC that the Faculty should not establish programs limited to "narrowly defined ethnic groups but [should] focus on ethnic studies generally."
The Faculty Council has not received any more proposals or discussed the issue since that time, Knowles says.
In other business, Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles announced the appointment of five professors to the Harvard College Professorships, which pay for additional research funds, time off and other benefits.
Knowles said he will select four or five new professors each year.
