Effecting Change on Issues of Race, Power, and Privilege in Student Residence
Three realities alive on campuses today limit our ability to act meaningfully. First, the topic of race/racism is often superficially engaged with, and sometimes avoided altogether. Second, very few institutions gather meaningful data about the lived experiences of their racialized students, staff, and faculty. Third, experiences of racism are often recorded as isolated anecdotes or incidents, with little to no formal structures to investigate if/how these experiences permeate the culture of the institution. How can we disrupt the status quo?
