The Columbus Dispatch: Diversity issues spark student engagement at Denison

<p>It seems some of what was discussed during those 2 days were that gays and other minorities felt that the atmosphere might be a bit unfriendly. It is their opinions that were being voiced. Peter05 has a point in what he is saying. I think schools can become a bit complacent about awareness and intolerence. Denison is a great school but really isn’t as diverse as it could be. Perhaps this is a discussion that was long overdue and very much needed by the student body.If it pushed under the rug and dismissed it will never change. Recognizing what is wrong is the first step. I’m proud they were able to do that.What they choose to do with all they have gained from this will say who they are as a student body and as a college. I know as parents of students at Denison it is hard to see the faults but that doesn’t always mean they aren’t there.</p>
