"Brown University has announced it will be the recipient of a $30,000 grant from the Association of American Colleges and Universities to address “racial justice and equality.”
Appropriately enough.
Two of the initiatives the university is planning are discussion groups for female Muslim students and another for black students.
The latter will focus on — wait for it! — “issues of identity, race, gender, colorism, classism, [and] dynamics within communities of color.”
“Colorism.”
That’s a new one.
...To be considered, the University had to submit proposals intended to “engage and empower campus and community stakeholders to uproot the conscious and unconscious biases and misbeliefs that have exacerbated racial violence and tension in American society,” according to a press release issued by the AAC&U.
Other “Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation” campuses include Duke, Rutgers University-Newark, Spelman College, and … The Citadel??
