Fore- most among the concerns was the denial of tenure to popular English professor Sondra O'Neale, a black woman whose field of spe- cialty is Afro-American literature. Dr. O'N- eale brings to Emory a vast knowledge of black literature , which is the historical paradigm of a people - black people, commented student Natalie Brown. O'Neale predicted that she would be granted tenure only if the administration respects the wish- es of students and is serious about being a member of the Atlanta community. A rally on O'Neale's behalf was held on november 13 in front of the DUC, attracting local politi- cians and television crews, as well as Emory students and faculty. In a February press conference, Emory President James Laney emphasized that the number of black faculty members is on the increase, but inisted that O'Neale's tenure denial was a faculty deci- sion, and it stands. Also in the fall, a picture portraying blacks as inferior to whites printed on a flyer adver- tising a fraternity party was distributed Students and faculty gather in a march to protest recent incidents of racism that the campus had experienced. The ensuing rally, which included leaders from Atlanta's black community, dealt with Dr O'Neale's tenure issue around campus, apparently as part of a prank. SAE President Mike Walsh denied that his group was responsible for the post- er, adding that it was an insult to the black community. Regardless of the details, said Black Student Alliance President lvan Davis, it was done on this campus, and it was probably done by Emory students. Racism does exist on this campus.
