Department of History, Transcripts of Exit Interviews with Black students and final report .4 Linear Feet Box 1, Folder Control, 1-6

Anonymized transcripts of recorded exit interviews with forty graduating Black students from Washington and Lee University in 1997. The interviews were organized and arranged by WLU's Institutional Effectiveness Committee to gain a range of perspectives on campus climate and the WLU student experience. The interview questions were created by WLU professors Ted Delaney (History) and David Novack (Sociology), Associate Dean of Students for Minority Affairs Anece McCloud, and students Mogana Richards and Robert Taylor. The interviews were conducted by Jennifer Ashworth, the administrative assistant in the History Deapartment. The content of the interviews was assimilated into a final report titled "The Black Student Experience" by Professor of History Robert W. McAhren in 1999. A copy of the report is included with the interviews.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
