Yeah, this sounds logical: We can increase the graduation rate of African-American men by giving them safe spaces where they can “validate their experiences” (translation: confirm their own racial biases) and talk “with individuals who come from the same background who share the same experience” (translation: confirm their own racial biases). This predictably will exacerbate racial tension on UConn’s campus and further alienate these young men, many of whom are present on campus only due to very aggressive affirmative action programs. Racial balkanization is a (progressive) recipe for disaster.
You can separate the races, but it won’t make them equal; indeed, separation is inherently unequal. Didn’t we affirm this as a guiding constitutional (equal protection) principle in Brown v. Board of Education? This should make an interesting lawsuit–one for which the UConn alums, students and Connecticut taxpayers sadly will have to pay.
