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.
