Untitled

11.15.05 Removed the following sentences:

Most Amherst College students are of the opinion that he's alright, but think he should reduce the volume of his voice, both when speaking publicly and in everyday conversation.

Most Amherst College students also don't think he quite measures up to the former president of Amherst College, Tom Gerety. bhorton

Removed comments regarding his "hatred" for athletes because of being picked on. Lordjeff06 05:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Expansions?

What needs to be added to this article to make it not a stub? (i.e. stuff I may add to procrastinate someday, if nobody else does it first.)

• A sentence or two on Marx's previous scholarly work, like his books? e.g. "In these books, Marx argued that... " blah blah. One would need to find them, or at least some reviews of them.

• Some discussion of his major initiative(s) at Amherst, e.g. "At Amherst, Marx has made socioeconomic class divides his main priority (cite commencement/convocation speeches as necessary, they're all online). His major initiative in this area (cite Businessweek article and the CAP report, if that's publicly available) has been a sort of affirmative action in admission, based on class rather than race. Marx's position is that while Amherst may not be able to make a significant difference on its own, it has a responsibility to lead by example." etc. etc.

• Anything else?

Apparently he was involved in founding Khanya College in South Africa. I don't know any more than the Amherst bio says: "In the 1980s, he helped found Khanya College, a South African secondary school that helped prepare more than 1,000 black students for university." -David Schaich ^Talk/_Cont 01:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Oooh, good lead, Dave. I found a source: (a big PDF served from .za, so a very slow link). It's a history of Khanya College, and mentions Marx as being instrumental in the planning of the College.--Pjmorse 03:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Financial aid

This would be a good source for expanding the financial aid section: Top Colleges, Largely for the Elite By DAVID LEONHARDT Published: May 24, 2011 New York Times Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 12:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Needs updating

This article should be updated to provide more information about Marx's work at the NYPL. Some of the Amherst material is still in the present tense, as if he were still employed there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.132.179.165 (talk) 16:32, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Edit Request: Anthony Marx's Personal Life

I'm proposing the following edit for Anthony Marx on behalf of The New York Public Library. I am an employee of The New York Public Library and am aware of COI guidelines. Below is my suggested edit.

Personal Life

• Remove: "Marx is married to Karen Barkey, professor of sociology at Bard College. They met in 1990 while they were both faculty members at Columbia University and married in 1992. Together, they have two children: Josh and Anna-Claire."

• In place of the above text, add: "Marx and his former wife Karen Barkey have two children: Josh and Anna-Claire."

Sources

• Karen Barkey's bio: http://karenbarkey.com/bio/

• Anthony Marx's bio: https://www.nypl.org/about/leadership

 Not done The current material is supported by independent reliable sources, but the proposed change relies on self-published and primary sources. Per WP:BLPSPS, those sources are not sufficient enough to support changing this personal-life information. Do you have an independent reliable source for the proposed revision? Otherwise, I can also trim if there is a outdated material to remove. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 15:17, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
