College Presidents Can Do a Lot. But They Can’t End Racism
Preview:
Imagine: After a flag-football game in which a residence-hall team made up mostly of black students beats one made up mostly of white students, a student on the losing team calls the black students the N-word to their faces. Or: A white student who dates a black student has a brick thrown at her by members of a white fraternity. Or: That same fraternity goes to the local housing projects to hire black kids to work at their Old South formal.
