University of Connecticut creates black-only living space
2016-02-03
[The Mail] Activist groups have attacked 'troubling' plans by the University of Connecticut to create a black-only living space.
Western civilization is so boring. The old tribal ways really are best.
From next fall, ScHOLA²RS House, -- which stands for 'Scholastic House of Leaders who are African American Researchers and Scholars' -- will offer accommodation for 43 male African-American undergraduates on Storrs campus.

The university claim the move is to boost minority applicants and graduation rates and is 'no more segregated... than putting individuals with common interests together,' Vice Provost Sally Reis told Fox News. But others appear to see it as a backwards step after decades of progress against segregation.

#16  So what happens when someone suggests a white only living space? Or how about a non-black living space?

#15  Look, UConn's constructing a rookery
(With cool institutional cookery!)
Where "ScHOLA2RS" can heckle,
Disparage the shekel,
And rudely repudiate Bookery.

Please buckle your belt for the sequel,
In which collared scholars
All holler for dollars,
And if you don't pay 'em, some sheikh will!"

We'll dream beneath black-painted ceilings.
We'll never grow weary
Of critical theory,
Nor suffer spontaneous healings."

#12  Notice the Alabama Highway Patrolmen in that photo all have empty holsters? A bit late now, but LaVoy Finicum could have learned something from that photo.

#8  I'm reminded how effective this behavior was in Chicago's south side projects, or base housing.

#7  Replace "University of Connecticut" with "University of Alabama" or "University of Georgia".

#5  Yes, it is a dupe. The article found above is intended for the Pro-Accommodation crowd. If you do not fit the profile, please do not linger.

#4  Dupe of UConn building 'black-only' living space to promote scholarship

#3  To me this act is offensive. But, I bet a lot of other students at the University are pleased to have those guys out of their dorms.

#1  UConn has determined a subgroup of students need special help. Nothing to see here. Move along.
