Dear President Wagner:

We write as concerned Emory faculty to express our support for the letter recently issued by the departments of History and African American Studies. The use of the three-fifths Compromise example was neither appropriate nor instructive for today’s university.

Sincerely,

The Emory Wheel was founded in 1919 and is currently the only independent, student-run newspaper of Emory University. The Wheel publishes weekly on Wednesdays during the academic year, except during University holidays and scheduled publication intermissions.

The Wheel is financially and editorially independent from the University. All of its content is generated by the Wheel’s more than 100 student staff members and contributing writers, and its printing costs are covered by profits from self-generated advertising sales.
