KU vote funds separate, multicultural student government

A request to establish a multicultural student government at Kansas University — which proponents said would be unprecedented among U.S. universities — was approved after intense debate Wednesday night.

The KU Student Senate voted on allocating a list of required student fees for the upcoming school year, including a $2 fee increase to fund the newly created Multicultural Student Government. The fee would generate about $90,000 annually and be disseminated through KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs.

While many senators agreed with the concept of the new governing body, others expressed concern that more detailed logistics had yet to be established and shared because the group was so new.

Kansas, home of Brown v. Board of Education striking down “separate but equal”, forming a separate minority only student government. Have any of these college kids studied irony?

Funded by mandatory student fees, just like real socialist.

Would love to see “blacks only” stuff really catch on as a national movement.

The Progressives need to go to the next step and establish a completely separate campus only for multiculture students, no whites or Asians allowed. It could be called Grambling State.

Maybe we could have the multicultural student gov’t and regular student gov’t use separate meeting rooms. You could have ‘Caucasian only’ on some rooms and ‘minorities only’ on other rooms.

Everything old is new again!

I’m glad I commuted to school, paid my tuition, got my degree, and left. Never involved myself in any of this BS. I do not give to my alma mater. As far I am concerned, our business is concluded. Any communication from SUNY Buffalo goes to the circular file.

Isn’t Kansas one of our states? Why are we putting up with crap in red state universities?

Can’t do that, would be racist because the quality of education would somehow become inferior

That seems to be the major theme at universities anymore.

Oh, and socialism.

White is a lack of color, it doesn’t count for anything in the “Rainbow.”

Because KU/Douglas county is a blue island in a red state.
