“This is another example of political
correctness, and it’s wrong,” local
radio talk show host John DePetro
said during Monday’s rally for Co-
lumbus Day, a demonstration against
the University’s decision last spring
to change the name of the holiday
weekend to Fall Weekend.
DePetro’s rally, hosted on the
Main Green in conjunction with
the Brown College Republicans
and the conservative and libertarian
magazine the Brown Spectator, drew
an audience of about 50 — mostly
community members — along with
Department of Public Safety officers,

Researchers find link between
‘killer cells’ and immunity
By Anita Mathews
Contributing Writer
Brown and McGill University re-
searchers have discovered an im-
portant relationship between cells
of the immune system — a finding
that might someday benefit patients
receiving bone marrow and organ
transplants.
T-cells — named for the thymus,
where they mature — attack patho-
gens in the body but can sometimes
harm healthy tissue. Natural killer
cells, or NK-cells, were previously
known to respond to viral illnesses
by destroying infected cells, but have
now been found to also play a key
role in regulating T-cells by secreting
a protein that controls inflammation.
Because NK-cells prevent the im-
mune system from over-activating,
controlling the cells’ growth could
help prevent organ rejection.

With administrators scrambling
to cut costs in a difficult financial
climate, President Ruth Simmons
is trying to do her part.
Simmons requested and re-
ceived a roughly 10 percent reduc-
tion in her annual compensation
this past year and will temporarily
forgo contributions to her deferred
compensation plan, according to
Chancellor Thomas Tisch ’76 and
top administrators.
Simmons stands to make about
$536,000 for the fiscal year end-
ing this summer, down from her
approximately $600,000 salary in
the previous 12 months, officials
said.
This is the third straight year in
which Simmons’ salary declined.
According to the University’s most
recent public tax filings, she re-
ceived $636,158 in salary in the 12
months ending June 2008, with an
additional $182,304 in benefits and
deferred compensation.
Combined, that made Simmons’
total compensation of $818,462
during the 2007-2008 academic
year her highest ever, even though
her salary declined.
Data on any benefits and de-
ferred compensation Simmons
may receive have beyond her sal-
ary last year, or may this year, are
not yet available, officials said.
Tisch, the University’s top offi-

hey — recycle that!
Local politicians seek to

rate with a new change
cer, said Simmons initially had the
instinct to request a decrease in
her salary several years ago when
she noticed that the University had
a growing revenue gap — a steep
increase in financial aid grants was
not being offset by a comparable
increase in tuition.
Tisch said he saw the presi-
dent’s request as “a statement
of recognition of a new financial
paradigm.”
The Corporation agreed to Sim-
mons’ initial request in late 2007,
Tisch said. “She had a very early
instinct that there were going to
be some tougher times ahead,”
he said.
Simmons’ “recognition and
world view,” he added, “allowed
the administration to operate
through the cataclysms of last fall
in a very measured way.”
The president’s leadership in
asking for a salary reduction has
inspired many other top admin-
istrators to do similarly, Tisch
said.
“The president sets some aw-
fully good standards,” he said. “It’s
a great statement as to her char-
acter and her leadership.”
He declined to provide further
details on the number of officials
who made such requests.

an across-the-board hike in health care
contributions from the current 6 per-
cent to 12 percent. The University’s
previous health-care proposal, which
entailed converting health-care contri-
butions to a ‘sliding scale’ — whereby
employees would each pay a percent-
age tied to their income — was also
contested by the union.
Negotiators for the workers were
“very disappointed with what manage-
ment came to the table with,” Rivera
said.
Rivera’s counterpart at the negoti-
ating table, director of labor relations
Joseph Sarno ’91, did not respond to
phone calls from The Herald Monday
and has declined previously to discuss
details of the ongoing negotiations.
“The University appreciates the
cordial and professional manner that
have characterized these bargaining
sessions and is hopeful that the re-
maining issues will be resolved during
the contract extension,” Vice Presi-
dent for Public Affairs and University
Relations Marisa Quinn wrote in an
e-mail to The Herald Monday night.
A proposed change in retirement
benefits for future hires — another
flash point of negotiations — also re-
mains unresolved, Rivera said.
The union’s bargaining com-
mittee felt unable to respond to the
University’s proposal without consult-
ing its members, and thus asked for
the extension to call a membership
meeting, she added. On Tuesday, the
committee will inform workers of the
new stakes and possibly ask them
to formally authorize union negotia-
tors to call a strike, if they deem one
necessary after Wednesday’s nego-
tiating session. A strike authoriza-
tion would not preclude a negotiated
agreement.
Federal mediators, like the one
who will join the negotiation Wednes-
day, aim to “improve labor-manage-
ment relations, to promote collective
bargaining and to enhance organiza-
tional effectiveness,” according to the
Federal Mediation and Conciliation
Service Web site. The same mediator
was involved Dining Services’ contract
renegotiations in 2006, Rivera said.

Holy Cross 31 Head Coach
Brown 34 Phil Estes
didn’t turn
to his kicker for the Bears’ field
goal attempt. He sent in a wide
receiver instead.
Before Saturday, Patrick
Rooney ’11 hadn’t kicked a field
goal in a varsity game since high
school. In fact, he hadn’t even been
in a varsity game at Brown. But
with just seconds left, he lined up
for the 34-yard attempt that would
either win the game for the Bears
or force them into overtime.
“He’s got a pretty strong leg. It
just kind of goes a lot of different
directions,” Estes said.
Rooney put it right down the
middle when it mattered most,
giving Brown (2-2, 0-1 Ivy) a win
over Holy Cross (4-1), which was
The final drive capped a game
in which Newhall broke the Ivy
League record for most comple-
tions in a single game, with 46.
On 61 attempts, Newhall had 431
yards, two touchdowns and one
interception. Newhall won the Ivy
League Offensive Player of the
Week on Oct. 12 after the win.
“He just made a lot of plays,”
said Holy Cross Head Coach Tom
Gilmore. “When we did get pres-
sure on him, he did a great job of
escaping. … He made the plays,
and we didn’t.”
Gilmore said his team was fo-
cused on limiting Brown’s stand-
out receivers Buddy Farnham ’10
and Bobby Sewall ’10. Farnham
had a relatively quiet day with
SPORTS
only four catches for 30 yards,
but Sewall had 14 receptions for
97 yards.
With the Crusaders focusing
on Farnham and Sewall, Newhall
linked up with an unfamiliar target,
“Wow,” Gilmore said of his
quar terback’s four th-quar ter
performance. “If you don’t think
Dominic Randolph is the best
quarterback in the countr y, just
look at those last two drives. …
He is absolutely the best player
I’ve seen at this level in a long,
long time.”
But the game didn’t start off
as a Newhall-Randolph duel. On
its first two possessions, Brown
rushed once in their first three
plays. Both possessions were
three-and-outs.
Holy Cross also tried to estab-
lish the run early in the game,
with more success than Brown.
In their first drive, the Crusaders
ran on four of their 10 plays. The
drive ended with a field goal. Holy
Cross’s first touchdown drive was
half running, half passing.
But midway through the sec-
ond quar ter, with Holy Cross
leading 17-7, Brown turned to its
passing game. Holy Cross quickly
followed suit.

incorporate the new research, Biron
said, host-pathogen relationships and
the delicate balances within the im-
mune system must be understood

“The challenge of the immune
system is that it is very well-armed
and can do a lot of good, but it has to
be regulated,” Biron said. “It’s more
like Goldilocks and the three bears:
There’s too much and there’s too little,
and there’s just right. You have to opti-
mize responses.” Lee voiced a similar
view regarding immune cell dynamics:
“The body knows what is best. As long
sudoku
as we maintain NK-cells and T-cells,
they will know what to do.”
Biron and her research team hope
to build on their current understand-
ing of NK-cell function. Though basic
NK-cell biology has been established,
there is still uncertainty regarding the
behavior and activation of cell recep-
tors and signaling pathways in the
immune system, Biron said.
With a better understanding of
the intricacies of immune responses,
Lee said he anticipates finding more
mechanisms beneficial to host organ-
isms.

iceberg of NK-cell function.”
pionship Subdivision.
“He’s got to have ice in his
veins. I mean, he didn’t even hesi-
tate,” Estes said.
Rooney said he needed to take
a huge breath to calm himself be-
fore the snap. After the ball split
the uprights, he and the rest of the
Bears let their emotions show.
“Everybody rushed the field,”
Rooney said. “We were lucky we
didn’t get penalized for that be-
cause it looked like three-fourths
of the team was out there.”
Drew Plichta ’10, who had at-
tempted all three of the Bears’
field goals this season but had
yet to make one, missed two field
goals and an extra point earlier in
the game, prompting Estes to give
Rooney a try.
At the start of the fourth quar-
ter, Rooney made his first varsity
field goal on an attempt from 31
yards out. His two field goals won
Rooney the Ivy League Special
Teams Player of the Week.
Rooney’s second kick was the
final play in a 1:39 drive engineered
by quarterback Kyle Newhall ’11.
Newhall started the drive at the
Brown 26-yard line with 1:42 left
on the clock. He completed his
first six passes, hitting four dif-
ferent receivers, on his way to the
Holy Cross 17-yard line.
time and time again. Wide receiver
Trevan Samp ’10 had 15 catches
for 206 yards and a touchdown.
Saturday’s performance vaulted
Samp to the top of the Ivy League
in receiving yards, with 293 on
the season.
“They took (Sewall and Farn-
ham) away a few times,” Newhall
said. “Trevan got open, so we took
advantage.”
But the Bears’ offense was only
half of an aerial show in which
both quarterbacks passed for over
400 yards. Crusader Dominic Ran-
dolph was 38-of-53 passing with
411 yards, four touchdowns and
two interceptions.
All that slowed Randolph down
were penalties and a couple of er-
rant throws. Three of Holy Cross’s
drives ended after penalties, and
another two ended with intercep-
tions.
But nothing could stop the
Holy Cross quarterback late in
the game. On the Crusaders’ last
two possessions, Randolph passed
on every play. Both drives ended
with touchdowns.
With his Crusaders trailing 31-
24 and just 3:14 left in the game,
Randolph drove 64 yards in just
five plays. He completed five
passes on the drive, including a
30-yard strike to wide receiver Rob
Koster in the end zone.
we just said forget it,” Estes said.
“We tried to run the ball a little
bit. Let’s just go to what we know
works.”
For most of the second half,
Newhall stayed in the shotgun,
leading a no-huddle offense with
five receivers spread out and no
running back in the backfield. The
Brown offensive line gave Newhall
time to pick apart Holy Cross’s
zone defense.
By the end of the game, the
Bears were running strictly out of
the five-wide set. Brown running
back Zachar y Tronti ’11 didn’t
have a single carry in the fourth
quarter.
The evolution of this game into
a pass-dominated shootout was
expected. Since the Holy Cross-
Brown series resumed in 2006,
every game but one has featured
two 400-yard passers. The only
quarterback to throw for less than
400 yards was Randolph in 2006,
when he passed for 329 yards.
“Too many people had been
talking about what Dominic
Randolph had done to us in the
past — all of the yards, all of the
completions,” Estes said. “He’s a
terrific quarterback. But on this
day — offense, defense, special
teams — we needed to be better
than Holy Cross, and not by much,
but we were.”

The Herald. “This was a personal
decision.”
“The Corporation is responsible
for my salary,” she added.
In addition to the total com-
pensation she receives from the
University — which includes
health-care benefits and housing
— Simmons also receives compen-
sation for serving on the boards of
directors of Goldman Sachs Group,
Inc. and Texas Instruments, Inc.
In 2008, she received a total
$323,539 from Goldman Sachs in
compensation and stock awards,
and $223,322 from TI in salar y,
stock awards and other compen-
sation, according to data provided
by the companies.
Newcomers, new regulations
The University — along with
all nonprofit organizations — is re-
quired to file public annual reports
on the Internal Revenue Service’s
Form 990, which must include a list
of the organization’s five highest-
paid officials and their salaries. The
most recent tax report available,
from the fiscal year ending June
2008, contains the last set of data
before the financial crisis hit.
In that year, Simmons trailed
only Vice President and Chief In-
vestment Officer Cynthia Frost on
the list of the University’s highest-
paid officials. In 2008, Frost re-
ceived $1,076,060 in compensation
and benefits, down from $1,351,639
in 2007.
Provost David Kertzer ’69 P’95
P’98 was the highest-paid adminis-
trator after Simmons, taking home
a salary of $420,000 and benefits of
$56,473. Beppie Huidekoper, exec-
utive vice president for finance and
administration, received a $400,000

salary, plus $36,701 in benefits.
For the first time in recent
memor y, the five highest-paid
employees — not including offi-
cers, directors and trustees of the
organization — were all investment
officers, according to the 2008 tax
report.
Following Frost, Kenneth Shim-
berg, the Investment Office’s di-
rector of real assets and private
equity, received $936,455 in total
compensation, representing a 20
percent increase in compensa-
tion from 2007, when he received
$785,880.
Andrew Wert and David Scho-
field — the Investment Office’s
directors of marketable securities,
and Michael Speidel, the office’s
director of real assets and private
equity, rounded out the top five,
with each receiving significantly
more than their reported total
compensation from 2007.
The year before that, in con-
trast, two top administrators in the
Division of Biology and Medicine
were able to crack the top five.
The across-the-board increase
in total compensation for invest-
ment of fice staf f — and their
subsequent filling of the top five
positions on the list — is a result
of high turnover before 2005, ac-
cording to Huidekoper.
“We were losing investment
staff,” she said, adding that the
University realized that the exist-
ing salaries for these officials were
not allowing Brown to compete
with peer institutions.
Reductions from the top

last year, the current financial situ-

THE BROWN DAILY HERALD
— Andrew Bergmanson ’11, of the National Equality March
By Emily Rosen
Staff Writer
Thousands of people from across the
country, including a number of Brown
students and Providence community
members, gathered in Washington,
D.C. over the long weekend for the
inaugural National Equality March, an
event calling for equal civil rights for
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
Americans.
“It was an incredible experience to
be a part of the march. It was really
energizing,” said Gene Goldstein-
Plesser ’11, who attended the march
after publicizing it in Providence.
While the march itself only lasted
a few hours — culminating in a rally
at the Capitol Building on Sunday
— workshops, lectures and social
mixers for the march began on Friday
and lasted all weekend.
During the march, various activ-
ists, politicians and performers —
including gay rights activist Cleve
Jones, National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
Chairman Julian Bond, pop singer
said, as many senior officials have
voluntarily requested substantial
pay cuts and a significant reduction
or complete elimination of deferred
compensation.
For example, she said, Frost has
taken a voluntary decrease in her
deferred compensation, with the
resulting difference being added to
the University’s endowment.
The compensation figures re-
ported in Form 990 for 2008 also
reflect inflated total compensation,
Huidekoper said, adding that new
IRS regulations require the Uni-
versity — and all nonprofits who
fill out the annual tax filings —
to “double-count” contributions,
meaning Brown must report ben-
efits and deferred compensation
twice to satisfy the requirement.
According to Huidekoper, Sim-
mons’ request for reduced com-
pensation is part of an across-the-
board effort to partially alleviate
the effects of last year’s financial
crisis, which resulted in an endow-
ment loss of nearly $740 million
and forced University officials to
plan budget cuts totaling nearly
$90 million. She said one of the
ways Brown has tried to offset
the effects is by implementing sal-
ary freezes, which the University
began last year for those in the
administration earning $175,000
or more.
This year, Huidekoper said, all
administrators are facing a freeze
regardless of salary. Many indi-
viduals have voluntarily offered
to take pay cuts, she said, though
she added that she would not pro-
vide the exact number because
she did not want anyone to feel
pressure to request reductions of
their salaries.
Simmons has “been very self-
less,” Huidekoper said. “It allows
us not to have to reduce in other
areas.”
“Everyone was blown away.”
Lady Gaga and poet Staceyann
Chin — spoke to the crowd about
the importance of demanding equal
rights.
Approximately 200,000 people
attended the march, according to
Time Magazine. Goldstein-Plesser
said the crowd marching to the Capi-
tol stretched for many blocks.
Marriage Equality Rhode Island,
a local nonprofit, and the Providence
Equality Action Committee, char-
tered a bus to shuttle people from
Providence to the march. Tickets
for the bus were sold on campus,
but some Brown students decided
to organize carpools to drive to the
event.
In the weeks leading up to the
event, Lindsay Goss GS and Gold-
stein-Plesser, who enlisted support
from the Brown Queer Alliance,
worked to publicize the event at sev-
eral Providence colleges and universi-
ties by putting up posters, e-mailing
and selling bus tickets.
“We’ve got some Brown students
ready to represent,” Goss said the
Friday before the event. “Lots of
Dozens rally on Green
to support Columbus
continued from page 1
at the rally.
“Universities like Brown seek to
diminish the importance of Christi-
anity in the founding of the United
States, but they will never win that
battle,” Dellagrotta said. “American
Indians knew not Christianity, and
thus lacked the bedrock to construct
a great United States of America as
we know it today. Columbus, how-
ever, was their saving grace.”
Several speakers, including Ray-
mond Dettore, Jr., a national orator
for the Order Sons of Italy in Amer-
ica group, said though they did not
condone Columbus’ transgressions
against Native Americans, they did
not believe those misdeeds detracted
from the explorer’s successes.
He said finding fault with Colum-
bus was “an attempt to attribute 21st-
century conduct to a 15th-century
explorer.” Because slavery and bru-
tality were more common in those
days, Columbus was just following
cultural norms, Dettore said.
“What (Brown) forgot — or ig-
nored and gave no consideration
to — is that Christopher Columbus
is also a symbol of pride to Italian
Americans,” said Anthony Gianfran-
cesco ’79, a Providence lawyer. “Now
he’s going to become this great sym-
bol of evil.”
Several speakers and demonstra-
tors at the rally said there would be
significant financial ramifications for
the University’s decision to do away
with Columbus Day.
Many demonstrators said Brown’s
decision to change the name of a na-
tional holiday is a political statement,
which should strip the University of
its non-profit status.

dents who spearheaded the name

first-timers are going and people who
don’t usually consider themselves
activists,” she said.
Goss said activist and author
Sherry Wolf’s lecture at Brown last
month about oppression of gay, lesbi-
an, transgender and bisexual people
helped raise awareness about the
march on campus. Wolf addressed
the National Equality March partici-
pants over the weekend.
Students who attended the rally
said it was a positive experience.
“I was excited I was able to go and
show support for the cause,” said An-
drew Bergmanson ’11, who attended
the march with Goldstein-Plesser.
“Everyone was blown away.”
Organizers said a march and rally
on the steps of the Rhode Island State
House organized by Marriage Equal-
ity NOW on Oct. 17 will continue the
momentum gained from the national
event.
“Some people think it’s a waste of
time to just wave signs, but people are
starting to realize that this is some-
thing we need,” Goldstein-Plesser
said.
change last spring, said in a phone
interview after the rally that the Uni-
versity is not concerned about a loss
of non-profit status. The University
“has expressed opinions on politi-
cal issues multiple times,” Koyama
said.
“It has nothing to do with Italian-
American pride,” Koyama said. “The
protestors are looking at this issue
as a way to cause divisiveness, but it
should be a day to come together.”
She said both Italian Americans
and Native Americans have suffered
their share of persecution through-
out history. But a holiday in Colum-
bus’ name need not be the primary
expression of Italian-American pride,
she said.
Though the vast majority of pro-
testers avoided confrontation, 2006
mayoral candidate Chris Young
was more aggressive, shouting at
counter-protester Jerry Wolf Duff
Sellers ’09.
Duff Sellers — who is of both
Italian and Native American descent
— stood beside a statue of a carica-
turized Italian chef with a toy sword,
on which he rested a sign reading,
“Columbus spilled BABIES BLOOD
(sic) like I spill tomato sauce.”
“Brown should pay property
taxes if they’re going to become
politically active by removing a na-
tional holiday,” Young shouted at
Duff Sellers, and demanded that he
respond to questions about Brown’s
tax-exempt status.
The event drew television crews
from the local news affiliates of
NBC, ABC and Fox, and has already
brought Brown into the headlines.
“I went to the rally because I
wanted to see what it was about,”
said Oliver Rosenbloom ’13,
one of just a handful of student
spectators.

Cicilline’s ’83 “Green Up Provi-
dence” campaign, the policy aims
to double the city’s recycling rate
by next August.
To work toward compliance
with a state law requiring a 30
percent recycling rate by 2012,
the campaign seeks to ensure
that by 2010, 20 percent of the
city’s waste is recycled , said As-
sociate Director of Environmen-
tal Services of the Department of
Public Works Daisy Diaz ’02.
Neighborhood representa-
tives and nonprofit organizations
worked with the city to come up
with a cost-effective solution to
increase recycling, Diaz said.

The “no bin, no barrel” policy
offers “great results for minimal
investment,” she said.
At a press conference last
month, Cicilline said the unprec-
edented campaign will “protect
our environment and, at the same
time, save taxpayer dollars.”
By increasing recycling, fees
at the state landfill could be re-
duced by as much as $300,000,
Cicilline said.
Radio adver tisements and
mass mailings about the program,
as well as neighborhood presen-
tations and bin distribution, have
helped to inform Providence resi-
dents of the change.
Though doubling the recy-
cling rate may appear daunting,
“I don’t have any doubt that we
will reach this ambitious goal,”
Cicilline said at the press con-
ference. The campaign will help
“make Providence one of the
greenest and cleanest cities in
the nation.”
R.I. unemployment hits 12.8%
By Ben Schreckinger
Senior Staff Writer
Rhode Island’s unemployment re-
mains among the highest in the nation
as a recent report ranks the state’s
business tax climate one of the worst
countrywide.
Rhode Island ranked 44th in the
2010 State Business Tax Climate In-
dex released last month by the Tax
Foundation, a Washington think
tank.
According to the most recent
data from the United States Bureau
of Labor and Statistics, the state’s
unemployment rate in August was
12.8 percent — lower only than that
of Michigan and Nevada.
The state lost 2,400 jobs that
month, according to the Rhode Island
Department of Labor and Training.
Tax laws are “one of the few things
that legislators can have a direct im-
pact on,” said Kail Padgitt, a staff
economist at the Tax Foundation
and the report’s author. Lawmakers
cannot significantly boost a state’s
infrastructure or human capital within
a short time frame, he said.
“We have strong evidence that
there is a strong correlation between
a state’s business tax climate and the
overall business climate in the state,”
Padgitt said. Last month, Forbes Mag-
azine ranked Rhode Island last in a
special report on “The Best States
for Business.”
But in an e-mail to The Herald,
Jennifer Leigh, director of commu-
nications at Rhode Island College’s
Poverty Institute, wrote, “Much of
the analysis we have done shows
that lowering taxes on business, es-
pecially during a recession, is not a
cost-effective strategy for economic
development.”
State and local taxes account
for just 3 percent of the average
business’s expenses, she wrote.
Instead, businesses are attracted
by a skilled workforce and quality
infrastructure.
The Tax Foundation ranking
represents a modest rise from last
year, when Rhode Island was ranked
46th.

Foundation’s rankings and current
unemployment figures — one indi-
cator of a state’s economic health —
yields mixed results.
South Dakota comes in first in
the organization’s rankings and has
the country’s second lowest rate of
unemployment. But Nevada has the
fourth best tax climate for businesses
according to the rankings, while its
unemployment stands at 13.2 percent
— second worst in the nation.
Padgitt pointed to Michigan’s poor
showing in the index and the state’s
stagnant economy as evidence of a
correlation between the index and
actual economic vitality. Like Rhode
Island, Michigan has yet to recover
from the loss of manufacturing as the
foundation of its economy.
Rhode Island could lower its tax
rate but offset consequent revenue
losses by eliminating “a lot of exemp-
tions,” which would broaden the tax

base, Padgitt said. Exemptions, such
as tax credits for job creation and
research, “sound like a nice idea” but
turn into a “zero-sum game” when
all states offer them, Padgitt said. At
that point the exemptions lower tax
revenue without offering any state a
competitive edge.
According to Leigh, the economic
downturn in Rhode Island “should be
used to invest in training,” rather than
focusing on the tax code. She cited a
study by the Workforce Alliance that
found that more than 40 percent of
openings in coming years will be for
“jobs that require more than a high
school diploma, but less than a four-
year degree.”
“If Rhode Island seeks real eco-
nomic recovery and long-term pros-
perity, we must ensure our workforce
has the necessary education and
training to meet the labor demands
of the future,” Leigh wrote.

U. should re-think Africa focus

To the Editor:
We were surprised to recently
read that Brown University is plan-
ning to expand Africana Studies (“In
hiring, hallmark of a broader push
on Africa by University,” Oct. 6).
We have to wonder what could
possibly lead Brown administra-
tors and faculty to think they have
neglected this area. Brown has a
Department of Africana Studies
with 14 full-faculty members —
not counting seven visiting and
affiliated professors. In addition,
Brown has the Third World Center,
the Center for the Study of Race
and Ethnicity in America and the
Africa Group Colloquium, and the
University recently sponsored the
Focus on Africa speaker series as
well as the Steering Committee on
Slavery and Justice. All are related
to Africana studies.
We are especially concerned over
the hiring of Nigerian writer Chinua
Achebe to the faculty of the Afri-
cana Studies Department. Achebe
is known for denouncing British
author Joseph Conrad as a “bloody
racist” and claiming his book Heart
of Darkness “celebrates” the “dehu-
manization” and “depersonalization”
of African people.
The University should consider
more creative ways to teach its stu-
dents about the classics of Western
literature than calling them racist.
Students deser ve to appreciate
great books on their own merits,
without having them cut down into
caricatures of European colonial-
ism.

Should I stay or should I go?

For most of your time in graduate school,
there is little time for self-reflection. It is easy
to get caught up in the details of completing
your degree and forget about the big picture
— that is, until you schedule that disserta-
tion defense. Suddenly, the end is in sight
and you have a decision to make — stay in
academia or leave your cozy ivory tower for
a non-academic career.
In many ways, grad school is like training
in how to become an assistant professor. But
what if you have doubts about teaching being
the right career for you? Maybe you want to
make more money or have more freedom
to choose where you live, or perhaps you
are feeling increasingly stifled about refin-
ing your interests and sub-specializing to a
point where you can count on two hands the
number of people who actually understand
your research.
There is a lot of peer pressure from other
academics to try for those coveted tenure-track
faculty positions, and it can often feel easy to
drift into academia after graduation only be-
cause that’s what is expected of you. Certainly,
there are perks to academic careers — job
security (once you have tenure), freedom to
make your own schedule, day-to-day variety
and all the fulfilling aspects of teaching and
research. But there is also the tough job mar-
ket, the geographic restrictions of academic

When I first set foot in this great state, I
knew there was something special about it.
Something unique. Rhode Island makes New
England’s other small states look gigantic by
comparison, and yet it has the longest name
of any state in the union.
Also — and I learned this interesting little
bit of trivia when I recovered from shock af-
ter first opening the Providence Phoenix —
indoor prostitution is not illegal. These are
just a few examples of Rhode Island’s little
peculiarities.
Later this month, the Rhode Island General
Assembly will do its best to remove at least
these two distinctions.
The General Assembly seems intent on
applying the tactics of this nation’s tremen-
dously successful War on Drugs to commercial
sexual encounters. Just think, my fellow Rhode
Islanders, what a paradise our fair state will
be when prostitution is as rare — and as ef-
fectively deterred — as marijuana use!
None of this is meant to minimize, white-
wash or excuse the individual and societal
evils prostitution engenders. Books — and
letters to the editor — can be written about
these problems. There are concrete ills, such
as disease transmission and sexual exploita-
tion, along with more abstract concerns like
moral decay.
The people of Rhode Island need to have a
conversation with their legislators about the
best way to tackle the problems prostitution
causes. Broadly, there are three paths the
job-hunting, the endless grant submissions
and the single-minded pursuit of a sometimes
obscure topic.
Deciding to leave academia can feel like
a betrayal. You might worry about losing the
respect of your colleagues and disappointing
the adviser who has put so much time and
effort into your training. But choosing a non-
academic career after graduate school is not
admitting failure, nor is it a last resort for those
who can’t “cut it” in academia.
So if you are interested in non-academic
Choosing a non-academic career after graduate
school is not admitting failure, nor is it a last

career options, what can you do? First, think
of your time in grad school as a valuable ex-
perience, even if you don’t plan on staying in
academia. Though it might not feel that way,
you have developed real-world skills while
in grad school that can translate into other
areas.
Next, assess your situation. Think about
Criminalization doesn’t work
state could take.
First, like other societal ills, prostitution
could be heavily regulated. The state could
test the participants to prevent the spread
of disease. It could assert itself vigorously to
ensure that the prostitution is consensual. If
a woman (or man, for that matter) wants out,
the state could provide any training or help
necessary for him or her to find different em-
ployment. Additionally, the state could heavily
discourage unsafe and exploitative prostitution
by strenuously prosecuting pimps and johns
who attempt to circumvent the regulated es-
tablishments.
As with drugs and other sources of societal
problems, criminalization of commercial sex
does not eliminate the difficulties it causes.
However, experience in countries that have
followed this path (and in Nevada), shows that
this leads to many unintended consequences,
such as increased trafficking. Moreover, gov-
ernments rarely have the capacity or desire
to regulate prostitution as much as would be
necessary.
Most disturbingly, interviews with women
in jurisdictions where prostitution is permitted
and regulated demonstrate that the conditions
are generally barbaric, and most women would
leave if they could. As one prostitute put it, “It’s
like you sign a contract to be raped.”
Alternatively, the state could close the loop-
hole in current prostitution laws and throw
prostitutes and johns in jail. This is the ap-
your interests, what you like to do, what skills
you want to make use of in your career. Does
the topic you chose for your dissertation re-
flect a particular interest that could be nur-
tured outside of the academy? What have
your experiences in grad school taught you
about yourself and the kind of work that would
make you happy?
After the panicking and soul-searching
comes a step which, to a grad student, should
feel very familiar: research. There are all kinds
of resources for exploring non-academic ca-
reer options. The Brown Career Development
Center regularly holds events focused on non-
academic job searches, resume writing and
interviewing.
Once you have an idea about the sort of
career in which you’re interested, talk to any-
one and everyone in that field. Alumni who
have pursued similar careers are an excellent
proach favored by the House of Representa-
tives, which proposed a bill that, in its cur-
rent draft, would punish prostitutes and johns
equally with six months’ jail time for the first
offense. But this strategy, followed by most of
our fellow states, is highly problematic.
As with drugs and other sources of societal
problems, criminalization of commercial sex
does not eliminate the difficulties it causes.
Rather, it exacerbates them.
Consider, for example, whether a sex
worker is more likely to be exploited by a
john if she can safely notify the police of any
misconduct, or if she has to skulk around in
the shadows, avoiding the authorities for fear
of criminal sanctions.
But there is a third way, a sort of middle
ground, which would allow the state to spend
its resources mitigating the damage prostitu-
tion causes, without throwing poor, exploited
sex workers into prison or morally condoning
and permitting prostitution and its ills.
The Senate bill comes closer to this path,
refusing to permit prostitution, but slapping
first- and second-time violators only with small
fines, the proceeds of which go toward victim
compensation.
But it could still be changed for the better.
The ideal law would follow Sweden’s success-
ful model of punishing only the johns, while

resource, and can give you tips on how to
use the knowledge and skills you obtained
in grad school to succeed in a non-academic
job. Remember that everyone is a potential
contact. Don’t be afraid of networking.
There are myriad non-academic career pos-
sibilities for Ph.D.s, including jobs in industry,
non-profits, publishing and media, business
and consulting. The CDC offers counseling,
career fairs and resources to help you research
career possibilities and search for jobs. It’s also
a good place to hear about the experiences of
other grad students making similar decisions
and to connect with alumni who have built
successful careers outside of academia.
While the merry-go-round of post-doctoral
positions, grant applications and searches for
that elusive tenure-track faculty spot may seem
inevitable, remember that you do have choices.
It may be scary to admit to your adviser that
you’re not sure you want to follow in his or
her footsteps, but going through the motions
when you know an academic career isn’t for
you is much scarier. Convince yourself that
you’re not overeducated and unemployable
outside of academia — haven’t you learned
to think critically, self-motivate, collaborate
with colleagues and read and evaluate large
amounts of information? You’ve got skills.
And there’s a whole world out there beyond
the ivory tower.

focusing the state’s attention on helping the
prostitutes rise out of their desperate situ-
ation.
This kind of law is a sensible compromise.
The state would rehabilitate prostitutes by
providing them the social services necessary
to allow them to end their dependence on the
sex trade and exploitative pimps and johns.
Moreover, by bringing the hammer down
on the johns and pimps, the state would send
an important signal that it will not tolerate
the abuse and degradation that prostitution
engenders.
Most impor tantly, this approach has
proven to be very effective. After its imple-
mentation, the number of street prostitutes in
Stockholm, Sweden’s capital, has decreased
by two-thirds, and the number of johns by
four-fifths. Sex trafficking is now almost non-
existent in Sweden.
Obviously, this is a very emotional issue.
To many people — the author included —
prostitution is morally wrong. It might seem
callous to look at the issue through such an
academic lens when the reality on the ground
is so much more complex.
But the status quo in Rhode Island is un-
acceptable. Legislators should step up to the
plate and fix the problem, but not by making
criminals of desperate men and women. Pros-
titution is unfortunate for everyone involved.
The state should do its best to discourage
prostitution, but the focus should be on help-
ing exploited sex workers escape and build
new lives.
