University of Delaware is discontinuing its diversity training - residential life training program.
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.
Um, that's nice...but what about the people who have already gone through the training? Do they need to be contacted and told 'never mind'?
Shouldn't this kind of thing...the residential life program...be thought through BEFORE it is goes into practice?
Meanwhile...students at St. Thomas are marching to get their point across.
What will it take for our students to love and accept one another for who they are?
