The school president called an African American scholar “one of the rarest creatures in America.”
Lafayette Journal & CourierPurdue president Mitch Daniels speaks during a Purdue board of trustees meeting, Friday, Aug. 2, 2019 at Stewart Hall in West Lafayette.WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
That night, Daniels had been pressed by students about his administration’s response after a Purdue student had been denied the sale of cold medicine because a clerk and a manager at an off-campus CVS Pharmacy had rejected his Puerto Rican driver’s license as sufficient ID. The incident led to student rallies calling on a response from Daniels, which he’d been reluctant to offer.
And on Wednesday, two weeks later, Daniels’ statements were dissected in a New York Times op-ed by G. Gabrielle Starr, president of Pomona College, a private liberal arts college in Claremont, California. In it, Starr wrote that she was breaking from the “standard etiquette for college presidents,” which “is to let the remarks of another leader pass on by.”
Berry said she received the apology via email Wednesday afternoon. Berry said the excitement she felt faded when she saw it had gone to a small collection of people, rather than a public statement sent to the entire campus. Berry called it a half-step for something she said she believed Daniels should have done when she pointed out his language to him that night.
“It would have been possible to express the genuine concern we all felt without condemning prematurely any individual or local business establishment before the facts were known,” Daniels said. “That was a misjudgment on my part and a lesson for the future.” Audrey Ruple, chair of the University Senate’s Equity and Diversity Committee, said she was “grateful to President Daniels for his statement.”
