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.

What next, black students demanding completely separate facilities at the university (libraries, dining facilities, etc.)?

Black separatists were alive and well on campuses when I went to college in the 70’s.

Honekeys are allowed only in a servants capacity.

[manc]

My thoughts too. They will keep them together and probably get different test and lessons.

I'm a bit confused, does this mean that you may violate the law and segregate according to race in public accommodations if you are either a white academic or if you are black?

Does this mean that Jerry Falwell's University may segregate according to race, or only pedigreed Northeastern universities?

Only White women are allowed to visit. Blondes.

It’s the north east where these people shout racist towards southerners and the south while living in their white utopias.

Usually blond and about 200 pounds.

I’m glad my life took place when it did:
America at her zenith. Where she is headed
now isn’t going to be good for anybody.

[umgud]

Now that there is funny. Should we add a mini skirt with cheeks hanging out?

“Segregation is just fine as long as it works to the advantage of the right color.”

There isn’t a downside here for whites.

[deweyfrank]

If they want segregation, give it to them. MLK must be turning in his grave.

[Robwin]

I recommend they name the dorm the George Corley Wallace, Jr Memorial Dormitory.

[ealgeone]

So we’re back to separate but equal??

[Chode]

no doubt, one stop shopping... kinda like picking up loose change

wonder how long before it'll have to be torn down
