#1 "[a] racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality."

Clearly highlights the decline of our educational system. I cannot understand why this must be taught at the college level. I've accepted it a universal tenant of our society since grammer school in the early 1960's.

#2 The pathetic 'liberals' who permit this sort of thing seem to forget that in the end the socialist leadership had to purge their most ardent followers who got out of control [Hitler and the SA, Mao and the Red Guard] or degenerate into paranoid based purges like Stalin. It's the executive and legislative branch of state government that in the end must step in and reclaim the property of the 'real' people, the citizens of Delaware, or shut it down.

#4 This is not a university. Merely a concubine for Mao.

#5 This is why the West is failing as a society. Question all values and thought except the "accepted" version.
So much for the Renaissance. So much for the industrial revolution. Hello dark ages.

#7 A Message to the University of Delaware Community

Nov. 1, 2007

The University of Delaware strives for an environment in which all people feel welcome to learn, and which supports intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, free inquiry and respect for the views and values of an increasingly diverse population. The University is committed to the education of students as citizens, scholars and professionals and their preparation to contribute creatively and with integrity to a global society. The purpose of the residence life educational program is to support these commitments.

While I believe that recent press accounts misrepresent the purpose of the residential life program at the University of Delaware, there are questions about its practices that must be addressed and there are reasons for concern that the actual purpose is not being fulfilled. It is not feasible to evaluate these issues without a full and broad-based review.

Upon the recommendation of Vice President for Student Life Michael Gilbert and Director of Residence Life Kathleen Kerr, I have directed that the program be stopped immediately. No further activities under the current framework will be conducted.

Vice President Gilbert will work with the University Faculty Senate and others to determine the proper means by which residence life programs may support the intellectual, cultural and ethical development of our students.

Patrick Harker
President

Newspeak for we've been exposed trying to play fast and loose with the program and got caught. Time to regroup and cover our retreat with paper.
