Hello Everyone,
Many students and faculty have approached me about the quote
which Alyssa read at this morning’s meeting and asked that
I send it to them. I am taking a chance that many of you may
wish to read it yourself. The below quote is from February 4th's
New York Times.
When I read it, I was struck by the shallowness of this man’s
remark. Personally, I believe it goes against every message we
try to convey at this school, and as parents and friends.
Appearances should not matter – nor should how many friends
you have or how cool you ‘appear’ to be. From this point on, I
will not buy anything from any Abercrombie & Fitch (or subsidiaries
- Hollister and Ruehl) and hope each of us consider whether this e
litist corporate attitude is one that is worthy of supporting.
The below quote is from the New York Times, Feb 4, 2006 --
UPPITY AND PROUD Most of you, take note. Mike Jeffries, the chief
executive of Abercrombie & Fitch, doesn't want you in his clothing
stores. "We want to market to cool, good-looking people," he told
Salon.com. "We don't market to anyone other than that. Candidly,
we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American
kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't
belong, and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely." In
a photograph, the 61-year-old Mr. Jeffries is shown sporting dyed-blond
hair, blue jeans with factory-applied paint splotches and a pair of
flip-flops. DAN MITCHELL
Also, just FYI…
In November of 2004 -- Abercrombie & Fitch settled the class action
suit against it for $40 million. As part of the settlement, the company
agreed to create an office of diversity, and to recruit more black,
Latino and Asian employees after being sued for racial discrimination.
