Coverage
"One concern raised frequently over the course of the weekend was the perception of the administration's ignorance of discrimination on campus. Attendees said that the administration has and continues to 'sweep discrimination under the rug' to keep up the College's image by pretending that racism is not an issue on the campus."
"Another concern raised was the absence of consequences for discrimination beyond a stern talking-to from resident assistance or commons deans. An unregistered 'white privilege party' that was held on campus in 2014 drew consistent negative responses for students and alumni, not just because of its racist theme, but also because the organizers of the party received no punishment from the administration."
