Brown Is Completely Off the Table

During that diversity and action plan extravaganza, one of the things that lit up my facebook feed of alumni was the demand by students for a mandatory class on minority perspectives or something like that. People may not have liked some of the other elements of the students’ proposal but a mandatory class outright terrified people.

Seems like such a thing would be a bigger deal at Brown than at many other schools, since many other schools already have various general education requirements (and many of them already have some requirement of this type in their general education requirements) that Brown does not have (except for ABET-accredited engineering majors).
