Black Studies professor collapses in class at Laney

Dr. Mary Lewis hospitalized but in stable condition

Laney African American Studies professor Dr. Mary Lewis collapsed during a class Oct. 23 in E-207. She was hospitalized, but is now in stable condition.

Details about what caused her collapse are still uncertain, but some have speculated it was due to her workload at Laney.

Lewis is one of two part-time professors who have had to work overtime this semester due to staff shortages in Laney’s Ethnic Studies Department.
