How to Prevent a Toxic Campus Climate
Dr. Patricia Gurin, acting director of the National Center for Institutional Diversity at the University of Michigan and Dr. Kelley Maxwell, director of University of Michigan’s Program on Intergroup Relations are quoted in a recent article on preventing a toxic campus climate and evaluating institutional climate when it comes to diversity in a June 1 article in Diverse: Issues in Higher Education Online
It never seems to get any better...
This year started with an incident on University of Michigan's campus in which white students(s) were acused of using racial slurs and attempting to urinate on or throw beer on two Asian students and it ended with the Duke lacrosse team incident. That's very depressing.
This recent article in Diverse Online talks about how campuses are working on preventing these situations and how campuses are going about evaluating their institutions climate. Several people from University of Michigan, both past and present are quoted and mentioned in this article.
