Marquette University mulling plan to implement 'black only' housing in response to student petition
[MSN] "Marquette will work toward creating a Black Living Learning Community in a residence hall," campus administrators said to the student body in a statement last month, adding that learning communities "bring together students with common majors or common interests."

The school’s black student council started a petition, signed by over 1,500 people on Change.org in July, outlining a list of demands, including asking the university to "publicly recognize and apologize for the traumatic events that Black students experience on campus and the part Marquette has played in contributing to the experiences."

Marquette said in a statement that it plans to "review and revise, as needed, current policies regarding hate speech and racist behaviors to better allow for effective enforcement."

"We — along with other senior university leaders — met with the Black Student Council and other concerned students following the student demonstration," school administrators said after meeting with the black student council. "Their stories made vividly clear that racism — both systemic racism and racist, discriminatory actions — are part of our campus life."

I believe I have located the point where it all may have begun going wrong.

I would love to hear these "stories". Well, good. Now when the white kids listen to Beethoven, they can "crank it".

#5 Well, the wisdom of mixing students (on any level) from a group with average IQ 80 and average IQ 100 is unclear to me.

No actual "wisdom" is required. Simply slow the run down to the speed of the slowest runner. Once completed, the run can then be heralded as an amazing success. Everyone is a winner. An outstanding tribute to fairness, egalitarianim, and brotherhood.

What is it that you do not understand ?

#15 Marquette University is a private Catholic Jesuit University, P2k. Don't know if they get Fed $$, but I agree.

Used to be a really good Business, Medical and Engineering school.

That's because you belong to the latter group.

#18 No, no, no... segregated lunch counters first! Then water fountains and restrooms. Special section on the bus. Then separate housing like they had on the plantation days...

The term ‘black student council’ should tell you all you need to know.

#20 Diversity is our strength! Remember when that was shoved down our political throats by the smug asshats on the left. How’s that working out for you clueless white libtards. Overwhelming Obama and 8 years of community organizing the federal government and what was remaining of academia has shown what power can be had by acting tribal. As long as one side does and the other is transfixed by a fear of being “racist” their strategy works. The racism overwhelmingly on display in America today isn’t white racism, it’s black.

#22 Failing brick-n-mortar academies will collapse when online costs no longer support the 'out-of-state' tuition model. Look to state subsidized, homeless rental remedies.
