Faculty Diversity Lacking at Barnard College

Barnard is a selective liberal arts college for women in New York City that is associated with Columbia University. The college has its own campus, faculty, administration, and budget. About 5 percent of its more than 2,300 students are black.

But according to an editorial in the Columbia Daily Spectator, there is not a single black faculty member among the 72 tenured professors at Barnard College.
