I don't want to say 'Bang--you're out'. I'd rather admit them and then work on trying to make them see what's wrong with their attitudes."- Wonnacott "Having matched roommates for the past 20 years, Wonnacott recalls requests in previous years-- 'one every once in a while'-- to be placed with members of the majority. 'We've honored such requests,' she states, 'we don't want to make a guinea pig out of anyone." "Wonnacott receives requests from minorities as well to be roomed with other minorities. 'Sometimes we obliged these requests and sometimes we don't." "'I and either Dean Ardister or Dean Mathis will go to the people who request not to be with minority students and talk to them privately. Their housing slips have been saved. We're not out to embarrass anyone, we're out to educate. Ignorance is what we're dealing with here."- Wonnacott" administrative action racism student life
