Faculty and the Affordable Housing Project

Many students are extremely upset about the views expressed by some professors about the likely occupants of the affordable housing project at 132 Northampton Rd., as first reported in The Student on Nov. 13. The linked letters submitted to the Town Council represent the voices of a small number of faculty members who, except for one, opposed the affordable housing project. These voices were upsetting and harmful to low-income students’ sense of belonging and respect in our campus community.
