First hour: Cephas Archie, former chief diversity office for SUNY Brockport

Second hour: RCSD Superintendent Terry Dade on recent decisions related to the district's fiscal crisis

Cephas Archie was fired from his position as the chief diversity officer for the SUNY Brockport last month. The college has not disclosed why, despite outcry from the public, including Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren. For the first time, Archie sits down at length to discuss his work and what he understands about his dismissal. We're also joined by Shaun Nelms, superintendent of East High School, who addresses the value of diversity work. In studio:
