MATTAPOISETT Student leaders at UMass Dartmouth have published a letter this week calling for Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Dr. Shannon Finning who is also a member of the Old Rochester Regional and Mattapoisett School Committees to resign for failing to address the community’s concerns with systemic racism at the school.
In a letter sent to local media contacts and published in student newspaper The Torch, six student leaders including Student Government Association President Liz Anusauskas and Class of 2021 President Pearl McCarthy asked university officials for Dr. Finning’s immediate resignation, calling her “unfit to serve” in her current role.
