Petition: Academics in Support of Carole Vance

Academics in Support of Professor Carole S. Vance

To: Lee C. Bollinger, President
Seth Low Professor of the University
Columbia University

John H. Coatsworth, Provost
Professor of International and Public Affairs Professor of History
Columbia University

Dear President Bollinger and Provost Coatsworth,

We are writing as colleagues of Dr. Carole S. Vance to express our shock and dismay regarding the letter of “non-renewal” that Dr. Vance received, terminating her position as of June 30, 2014 – without cause and without compensation. After more than 27 years of exemplary service to Columbia, this decision strikes us as unethical and shortsighted.

On January 23, Provost Coatsworth received a letter from more than 30 prominent scholars protesting this action and requesting his intervention. We are disappointed that there has been no response to that letter.

We will not detail Dr. Vance’s formidable contributions, which were amply documented in the Scholars’ Letter previously delivered to you, as well as in petitions from her current and former students and post-docs. Instead, we confine this petition to these key points:

• Dr. Carole Vance is an internationally-respected, path-breaking medical anthropologist.
• Dr. Vance has been crucial in shaping multiple academic fields for three decades — gender and sexuality studies, medical anthropology, public health, and human rights.
• Dr. Vance has taken serious intellectual and political risks in presenting scholarship that has always been ahead of its time, and that has engaged highly-charged issues such as pornography, American domestic policies on sexuality and freedom of speech, conceptual biases in epidemiological studies of HIV/AIDS, and more.
• For more than a decade, Dr. Vance has been a global thought leader on human trafficking, challenging scholars and activists to find ways to address sexual violence and exploitation without inadvertently re-energizing sexual ideologies such as female sexual purity which strengthen the sexual strictures on socially marginalized groups.
• Dr. Vance’s longstanding Program for the Study of Sexuality, Gender, Health, and Human Rights inaugurated a new field of study at the same time that it galvanized an interdisciplinary and international network. By bringing together scholars from diverse academic fields (law, history, anthropology, women’s and gender studies, art history, literature and cultural studies), public health practitioners, activists and lawyers working in or directing non-governmental organizations, no one has done more to foster thoughtful relations among those working on sexuality and on international human rights.
• Carole Vance is beloved as a teacher, having taught some 100 courses and over 1,300 students in the Department of Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia University.
• Columbia University has benefitted immeasurably from Dr. Vance’s meticulous and tireless work, judging from the fact that she has been awarded many of the highest faculty honors at Columbia University: the 1999 Outstanding Teacher Award at the Mailman School of Public Health, the 2005 Tannenbaum-Warner Award for exceptional service to the University Seminars, and the 2007- 2008 Faculty Mentoring Award from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
• In Columbia’s Department of Sociomedical Sciences, Dr. Vance has done far more than her share of student mentoring, running the methods exam committee for many years, and directing the Sexuality Studies track within the M.P.H. program.
• Dr. Vance is a rare academic who has consistently reached beyond the university to include legal, clinical, and public health practitioners as well as advocates and activists in focused and sustained conversations about how to advance justice and human freedoms.
• From extensive international work and a strong commitment to international students, Dr. Vance enjoys the wide respect of scholars, practitioners, and activists, and is known for her brilliant and respectful engagements with colleagues all around the globe.

We have learned that the decision to terminate Dr. Vance has been framed as a budgetary issue, and is part of a larger move requiring non-tenured faculty to raise the majority of their salaries from external grants. This cynical decision sends two key messages to scholars at Columbia and elsewhere. First, because teaching and mentoring do not bring in grant money, faculty who prioritize students will be actively punished for that. Students do not matter. Second, brilliant, transformative scholarship is unimportant in the corporate university.

As scholars across an enormous array of fields, we have learned from, taught, and drawn fresh inspiration from Carole Vance’s work over and over again. We urge you to recognize and reward—rather than punish—this great scholar for the risks she has taken. Columbia has drawn ample benefit from Carole Vance’s work over the decades, both directly in her service to the University and also by the stature that she brings to the institution. We urge you to do the right thing and reinstate her contract.

Respectfully signed by (List in progress):
