The Columbus Dispatch: Diversity issues spark student engagement at Denison

<p>rzz20 - In NO WAY do I condone self-segregation, and I am sorry if you misunderstood my post! If you knew what I do for a living you would be stunned that you even suggested that. I was simply stating the obvious. I have advocated on here (in case you didn’t read my other posts) that this situation was a critical teaching moment for the students, the faculty and the administration. I’ve applauded the students for standing up and speaking out. My point (that I must not be making very well - sorry about that!) has been that just because this school wide event occurred at Dension, I do not think it is fair to single out Denison for having a tolerance problem. I think (I know) it is widespread on US campuses; some are dealing with it more openly than others.</p>

<p>Sideways - We discussed the situation at length this week, and fortunately, we were lucky enough to host an international student from Denison too who had an interesting perspective on it. (Clearly, there weren’t many students untouched by it.) Oh, and I used the word “fault” because you had used it in your post #21. If I misinterpreted, what is the fault you referred to? </p>

<p>Also, I would like to hear your (and everybody else’s) suggestions for further diversifying Denison.</p>
