In order to help black males graduate, the University of Connecticut is constructing a dorm with a living space only for them. Called the ScHOLA2RS House, the living community for African American males is set to open in 2016.

Dr. Erik Hines, an assistant professor of educational psychology and the future faculty advisor to those in the dorm, said UConn will implement the living space as a “forward-thinking” solution to the fact that black male students graduate at a lower rate.

Back, back, back, back to segregation.

I'm sure the segregated water fountains and lunch counters are just around the corner.

Can you imagine the outcry if a school in Georgia or Mississippi came up with this idea? LOL.

[VerySadAmerican]

So, will they be given the tests a week in advance so more will graduate? There’s some reason they’re keeping them isolated.

[AndyJackson]

Apardheid in America!

[VerySadAmerican]

Re-segregate. You’ve created a new word. It sounds like something W would say.

[Vic S]

Probably a good idea.

What's old is new again?

Meanwhile, the ghost of MLK is saying, “What the hell happened?”

[Company Man]

"What could possibly go wrong?" TM

They’ve had their irony gene surgically removed.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the new building christened Thurgood Marshall Hall.

[Trailerpark Badass]

So being around white people makes it harder for blacks to graduate?

White evil knows no bounds!

Because racial segregation worked so well the first time. [/sarc]

[A_Former_Democrat]

Not only is this blatantly discriminatory and illegal, but any notion that black men with black men is going to “help them graduate” is laughable.

If Uconn wants to create a dormitory ghetto with all the negative results in waiting, then this is how they do it

[Chode]

so concentrating the ignorance into one ghetto dorm will fix it??? feh...

[The Toll]

Those two black guys in Connecticut have to be thrilled.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Isn’t this wasist?

[kearnyirish2]

There are now “college degrees” and “preferred minority college degrees” (which are the equivalent of a sixth grade education of a white/Asian male). The blacks, Hispanics, and women with the “preferred minority college degrees” will gripe about a wage gap, when in fact there is a skills/education gap.
