@TooOld4School: You can say what you want about diversity, but this is stuff that people don’t talk about. Unless you experienced racism yourself, you really don’t know what is going on. It may not be blatant. Many colleges claim to have diversity these days because it’s PC. Just because there is diversity, doesn’t mean there isn’t underlying issues within the brains of people. Michigan is not Stanford, UCLA, Columbia, or Cal, it’s the Midwest, and it accepts a majority of Michigan residents. I know of a CA Caucasian athlete who said she heard terrible things spoken about other non-Caucasian students and it disgusted her. I also know of a Californian Asian who left due to a poor reception. Your engineering student is in a department of diversity. Said student should just check it out and talk to students—people have different experiences and hopefully he’ll find his tribe wherever he chooses.
