To our readers,

In our “Low Retention of Faculty of Color Still Persists “ article that ran Feb. 27, it discussed how there was black faculty leaving Iowa State and context provided by previous black faculty upset about their treatment and the handling of faculty of color.

We have had readers respond stating that the article failed to mention work done by administrators and also to explain the context of the statements provided by the previous employees of the university.

We have listened to our readers and have acknowledged that the Voices section published the story with incompletions to the story. We regret the story was published with context missing, and these topics should have been addressed more. We also regret the decision to publish when it had been, however we hope that this story can still encourage conversation.

If anyone would like to share their thoughts, please feel free to send them to [email protected].
