Last year, Brown refused COVID extensions to grad TAs in the Literary Arts program, ignoring the fact that the pandemic had deprived these grads of what they'd been promised when they came to Brown.

Lit Arts TAs need an extension in their programs, and they're ready to teach the classes undergrads want - but Brown still refuses to grant extensions or expand course offerings. The Lit Arts program and its grad TAs are obviously valued by undergrads paying tuition. Are they valued by Brown?

“ ‘The proposal here is to really tap into the creativity, the motivation and the interest of young people, BIPOC high school students in our state and to have them really play a significant role in helping us to improve and ultimately transform BIPOC communities,’ Tarantino (LRI ‘91) told The Brown Daily Herald. He emphasized that the implementation of the winning student’s proposal made the opportunity unique and unlike any other comparable scholarship he was aware of, in the state or across the country.”

Peter A. Mello, managing director at WaterFire Providence, told The Herald he was grateful for the opportunity to host the “first BIPOC-themed WaterFire, where we’re celebrating Black, Indigenous and People of Color in arts, business and culture in the state of Rhode Island.”
“The WaterFire event has been going on for 25 years, and a big part of what happens at WaterFire is that we celebrate what is the best of Providence and Rhode Island — the people, the organizations, the culture, the history,” Mello said. He noted that local organizations often use the platform WaterFire provides “to engage their audiences” with social issues relevant to the community, so they were “super excited to be working with (Papitto Opportunity Connection) to create a special evening” uplifting BIPOC community members.
