Excellent point, Nile. But I think Uni's curriculum is very open to other cultures. What about African American Literature, Asian American Literature. In World Since 1945 we spent an entire quarter learning about Middle Eastern History. I remember focusing on African American Literature for a semester my Junior year. What people have to realize is that Uni was not established to be a racially diverse (there is a difference between racial diversity and diversity) it was made to take the best and the brightest, regardless of their race. I think that Bianca makes an excellent point. The fault lies with the Champaign-Urbana school district. It's not Uni's place to try to change things by taking not as qualified minorities over more qualified students. Uni should continue with minority counselors (including all minorites), beef up awareness and try to get out into the community, but making race an issue in admissions is, frankly, racism.
