Northwestern trivia...for prospies!

[northbynorthwestern]

The April 27 Daily Northwestern editorial seemed more concerned with demonizing these students and rehabilitating the perpetrators of the racist incident than addressing the need to have an open discussion about the lack of diversity on campus. The disparaging of these particular students seems reflective of age-old tropes through which Black males, in particular, are demonized as irrational and volatile, and as part of a grander effort to criminalize and silence astute critiques of power.

Faculty members weigh in on the recent racially-charged debates on campus, offering their support to those who came forward and reported the incident. Read the full letter here.
