Chancellor Nicholas Zeppos recently announced that he will take a year long sabbatical starting in August and not return to his position as chancellor. The Vanderbilt Hustler and Hot Takes podcast was joined by Jacob Pierce, Multicultural Leadership Council President, to reflect on Zeppos’s effect on the school’s diversity, ranking and much more.

Referenced in the podcast is an anonymous letter allegedly from faculty members that circulated in 2015, which can be found here. Also referenced was the 2015 Hidden Dores protest, which was covered by The Hustler.
