Colin Dickerman, VP, Editorial Director, Nonfiction, Hachette Book Group:  Hachette Book Group supports Gary Weiss, Hachette Book author, “Retail Gangster: The Insane, Real-Life Story of Crazy Eddie,” who allowed the The Shower Posse to smuggle drugs and to murder 1,400 American, predominantly African-American, citizens. Pietsch follows the lead of Stephen Shepard, Editor in Chief BusinessWeek and Dean of the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, and Kenneth Vittor, General Counsel McGraw-Hill and Professor of Legal Ethics at The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. The racism at the City University of New York and at Hachette Book Group is pervasive and endemic to the culture of these institutions.
