Thank you for that excellent post, malanai. I’m in the middle of making a decision on college at the moment and the amount of tolerance/lack thereof at a school is a big issue for me.

I think it’s admirable that Dr. Witt is making it clear the UA considers this behavior unacceptable. Coming from the North, racism is a huge concern of mine, but I understand that, unfortunately, this behavior happens everywhere. I was visiting a college over the weekend, a large, public school in the Northeast, and I was shocked by the amount of racism I saw during my visit. The reality is that nowhere in the country is going to be free of discrimination; at least UA is recognizing and condemning it.
