Dear Trustees,
Dear President Hart,
It has been well over a month now since Teresa Soufas, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, publicly insulted and harassed Dr. Molefi Kete Asante, yelling and pointing her finger at him during a faculty meeting.
Since that unacceptable racist attack on a most distinguished, respected and valued African scholar took place, hundreds of us, from all over the world, have expressed our outrage to Provost Staiano-Coico and President Hart, and demanded an apology from Teresa Soufas to Dr. Molefi Kete Asante. Unfortunately, the provost chose to cover up Dean Soufas
I am still processing the messages arriving from across the globe in defense of Professor Asante. It is clear that the respect he has earned over his career is far greater than one person's attempt to diminish it. Please know that your individual words are what keep the pressure on those who have chosen to remain silent.

C est une honte absolue. Dr Asante est un scholar exceptionnel et il mérite des excuses immédiates de la part de cette femme.

Disrespectful and unprofessional. No teacher should have to deal with that kind of harassment at work.

Unbelievable. In 2014 we are still dealing with this kind of behavior from university leadership? APOLOGIZE NOW.

This is completely unacceptable. Dr. Asante deserves way more respect than this. Shame on Temple for letting this slide.

The administration is just trying to sweep this under the rug. Stand with Dr Asante.
