In response to Wayne Lela’s letter to the editor

BY MARYA JUCEWICZ '17

This week Mount Holyoke News received a letter to the editor from Wayne Lela regarding the presence of “ignorant liberal bigots” who practice “sleazy discrimination” against conservative students and faculty on college campuses. In his letter, Lela urges students to welcome “intellectual diversity” to their campuses and suggests that colleges should institute affirmative action for the purpose of hiring conservative professors.
