<p>It’s reasonable to assume that the highlighted quotes represent a lens/world-view. If so (and because comments were solicited), this parent of two current Miami students would respectfully suggest that you look at other schools. Miami may not be right for you. </p>
<p>My daughters have found Miami to be a community of collaboration; more often-than-not focused on the content of everyone’s character and not the color of their skin. Imported misconceptions detract from that spirit of community.</p>
