(THE COLLEGE FIX) – The University of Chicago last week announced the creation of the Department of Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity which, allegedly, will “produce new understanding and fresh insights into the world we live in by studying how conceptions of race have emerged in different eras and circumstances.”
According to The Chicago Maroon, President Paul Alivisatos and Provost Ka Yee Lee said the new department is the result of a “a multi-year, faculty driven process.”
But activist student groups had a big problem with that characterization. The POC (People of Color) coalition known as UChicago United posted on Twitter that “in official communications, UChicago recognized the creation of the department only because of faculty efforts. DON’T LET THEM ERASE US!
