At Penn State and other campuses, Black studies professors and students lead the call for change

Penn State’s new commission on racism, bias and community safety will be co-chaired by faculty senate president Elizabeth Seymour and the deans of Penn State’s Dickinson Law school, Danielle Conway, and the liberal arts college, Clarence Lang. After receiving hundreds of nominations for commission members, they plan to assemble the group this summer and offer recommendations in the fall.
