As tens of thousands of students flooded college and university campuses across the state, many had yet to reckon with a new reality of college living — one that is defined in part by rapidly inflating costs that have fueled a national crisis of student debt.
But the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) has a bizarre problem with White students. Yes, they blocked white students from living in specific dorms set aside for Blacks, Latinos, members of the LGBTQ community, and Native Americans “for the safety of participants.”
However, in a statement in DailyMail, a university spokesperson scrapped the allegations that whites are not banned from anything on campus.
Under the guise of “inclusivity,” the University of Nevada Reno (UNR) has implemented segregated dorm communities–telling YAF that white students are not considered to fill spots.
According to the UNR website, the school houses three minority-only Living Learning Communities in Great Basin Hall, the Latinx, Indigenous, and Black Scholars. With the school’s website giving vague entry requirements at best, YAF reached out to the school for clarification on any requirements.
The LLCs were created as a way to help students “interact and engage with academic and administrative faculty outside of the classroom” as well as “develop personal relationships with peers of similar academic, social and cultural interests.”
“In the identity-based communities, for the safety of student participants, it is important only students who hold that identity are considered,” the Executive Director of Residential Life, Housing, and Food Services Dean Kennedy told YAF.
More details from AWM report:
The website writes that the Black LLC “connects all students and provides a supportive environment to collectively explore black Identity, cultures, and communities.”
The LLC also “will provide support, mentoring and networks necessary for educational success and empowerment while providing a comfortable living experience on campus. Students will have the opportunity to connect and network with peers and faculty who identify as black faculty, engage in common black studies classes, and participate in cultural events and activities on campus and in the local community.”
The controversy started when a reporter for Young America’s Foundation asked a UNR representative how people would gain access to one of the identity-based LLCs. The school’s answer seemed to imply that white students would not be allowed to live in these LLCs because they did not meet the identity requirements.
The school has since claimed that Kennedy “misspoke” about these living-learning communities.
“Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are a national best practice in university residential life and housing communities,” stated UNR. “These communities have been defined as high-impact best practices in higher education by the Association of American Colleges and Universities. The headline listed in the Young American’s Foundation story is inaccurate. University administration never stated that white students could not participate in our LLCs – they are not called ‘minority-dorm communities.’
“Our Executive Director of Residential Life, Housing and Food Services, Dean Kennedy, misspoke in giving his statement. These LLCs provide a sense of community and belonging, especially at research-intensive institutions. The University of Nevada, Reno’s 15 LLCs are open to any and all students living on campus. All communities are required to take courses specific to their LLC. These courses are offered as part of the general course catalog, and any students can take the classes.”
It’s time to get out of these liberal indoctrination sh*t holes go elsewhere (conservative university) and get an education. Being in these rot holes aren’t teaching you anything about the real world or how to make a living.
fukking liars, still sue them, it WAS their intent
Yes this is only because , as we all know, all white children are future hooders and lynchers. It is fact that whites kill everyone of color and there isn’t one minority that’s ever caused any problems . Add that whites hate everyone of color and that blacks never have anything but love for other races. Whites should be thrown out of all colleges because we all know their there to lynch blacks and not to learn. I think it’s time to give reparations to blacks because we all know the they are the only race ever to be treated badly and made to be slaves. Why do we have to put up with whites? Why aren’t whites all of them in jail? Let’s be real!
