To the editor,
Auburn folks believe in honoring the legacy of former Dean of Students James Foy, if response to my blog post on the topic is any indication. Both readership and comments reflected respect and affection for the Auburn icon.
Social Work Month is in March and this year’s theme is “Social Workers. Leaders. Advocates. Champions.”
Dear President Leath and Provost Hardgrave,
There is a dream that is at stake of being eliminated in our country. That dream is DACA. 80,000 of the people around us are living in fear of leaving the only place they call home, they are called the DREAMers.

Like many alumni of our great Auburn Family, I have watched with horror and shame over the past few weeks as white supremacy reared its uninspired head on the loveliest little campus on the “loveliest village on The Plains.”

In his speech at Auburn last Thursday, Apple CEO Tim Cook spoke on “diversity and inclusion.”
I was disconcerted and appalled by the revelation early this week that a so-called “White Student Union” had formed on Auburn University’s campus with the intent of promoting racist, anti-Semitic and white nationalist ideology.
I observed the installation of Steven Leath as AU’s 19th president at the University Ballroom March 20.
I have just recently read the article about the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter here at Auburn.
