Some terrific news! @columbia just added caste as a protected category in the university’s non-discrimination statement!
Just minutes ago @Columbia U senate passed the resolution without any objection.
Congratulations to all the students who worked hard to see this through!
Special shout to folks who who worked tirelessly to organize the crucial panel at @columbiajourn days before the senate vote, which undoubtedly created the awareness & push needed for this. @vikas_tatad@shonesb @priyakodilala @ICLSColumbia Professor #anupamarao & so many others.
@Chandan_Gowda73 There was and will be nobody like Lee. I am so grateful for those long sessions with Lee this past winter where he talked about this intellectual formation, our experiences growing up in Chicago, and so much more.
So proud of the Borderlines crew and their amazing work...
