Dartmouth prides itself on its "excellence in undergraduate education<http://dartmouth.edu/education/undergraduate-experience>".
However, the lack of courses in and resources for Asian-American Studies at the college undermines this supposed excellence.
Currently, there is no official program for Asian/American ethnic and cultural studies.
A few years ago, in response to student demand, three positions in faculty were reserved for Asian-American professors teaching Asian-American studies, and funds were set aside for this program.
Two of these positions have been given to professors who do not directly teach or research on Asian-American issues.
The last remaining Asian Americanist continues to teach classes on Asian-American Literature, which are now oversubscribed.
At least thirty faculty of color have left campus since the year 2002; of these at least five were professors who included Asian-American content in their courses.
Asian/American Students For Action are interested in learning
what Dartmouth doesn't teach you.
Come to the PAC room and participate in a photo project advocating for Asian-American Studies at Dartmouth, in solidarity with a similar project<https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.931420343567952.1073741829.877922605584393&type=1> at Yale.
Be on the lookout for open photo hours advertised everyday in the subject line when a photographer shall be in the PAC room. Alternatively, contact Moulshri Mohan '15 to set up an appointment to get your picture taken.
