In 2019, Provost Mark Richards sent a campuswide email to rally students and faculty to support his mission: “With ‘access and excellence’ as our mantra, we are working hard to more effectively link our capital investments to our academic mission and priorities.”[1]
The wording made a student react. “Many people in the Buddhist and Hindu community hold this term ‘mantra’ as a highly spiritual and religious experience, not to be used in the way Mark Richards did with nonchalance,” the student complained.
In a follow up, a diversity staffer advised the provost’s office on the “concern about use of wording.”
