Ms. Moultry, thank you for writing this opinion piece. I am a white graduate of the U of O School of Law (way back in the '70s).  Over the years I've worked with the law school, the Lane County Bar Association and the Oregon State Bar to increase diversity of the legal community in Oregon.  It is frustrating in the extreme to see the efforts made by so many to attract and keep members of diverse populations in Oregon severely set back by the ignorant behavior of a well-regarded law professor. This incident was not a small matter.  Lack of malice by the actor does not change the impact on the recipient of the behavior or on the institution. The damage is real. An inadequate response by the University would send a powerful message to potential students from diverse populations that they are not valued or welcomed here and that would be a great loss to our community.
