This article discusses the lack of diversity at the University of Richmond, specifically focusing on the lack of racial diversity. The article expresses concerns that both students and faculty have in what they describe as a "eurocentric" curriculum. Another concern that was addressed was the lack of cross-cultural student interactions. Mcquell Green, a Richmond College freshman, stated that most multi-cultural events were sponsored by the Multicultural Student Union, and that a few white people actually participated in these events. In addition, Green recounted a story in which a white woman persistently argued with him as to whether or not he was a basketball player. Green commented that this had frustrated him as "there are lots of white students that are bigger than me and people don't go around asking them if they're athletes." Tracey Jansen, a Westhampton College senior, commented that there were not many opportunities for black and white students to interact because social life was dominated by fraternities.

Description An account of the resource In the first installment of the “Coming out of hiding: Homosexuals at UR” series, Kevin Kendall writes about the experiences of gay, lesbian, and bisexual students on campus The article includes excepts from anonymized interviews with four University of Richmond students, and one Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) student. The students are part of the Lambda Coalition, "a social support group for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and supporters of their rights,” a group in the midst of applying for official campus status. The club originated from a pre-screened support group based in Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Largely closeted, the students express frustration with invisibility and erasure, but describe faculty and members of University administration as supportive of their organizational efforts. The group had recently chosen David Braverman, the new assistant dean for Richmond College, as their faculty advisor. Students describe complications of involvement in Greek life, the absence of sexual orientation as a classroom topic, and seeing homophobic graffiti in men’s bathrooms. As a counterpoint, a student from VCU describes her social experiences as including a diverse and generally supportive student body.

All aspects of racism will be reviewed by the commission including the treatment of black employees on campus. As the ratio of black students, faculty, and staff to white students, faculty, and staff is extremely uneven, the university intends to “double the number of minority and international students currently enrolled within five years and there will also be a concerted effort to increase black faculty.” There is also debate on the curriculum at the University of Richmond with hopes to increase the level of interest and enrollment in multicultural classes. Not only does the university hope to raise notice in diverse classes, but it also strives to attract and accept more students of color. The University of Richmond believes that this can be done through “academic scholarships available for black students,” and various other grants “in order to increase the pool of qualified applicants for admissions."

Description An account of the resource This 1991 article by Collegian editor Kevin Kendall recounts the experiences of four LGB students (whose names were changed in the article “due to the sensitive nature of this story”) at the University of Richmond coming out to their parents. It was published the day after the Lambda Coalition for LGB students was approved as an official campus organization. Two of the featured students were lesbian women (“Jennifer” and “Catherine”), one was a bisexual man (“Robert”), and one was a gay man (“Michael”). Kendall establishes that the process of coming out is difficult, but doing so to parents is especially hard because, as “Jennifer” claimed, “No parent pictures their child growing up like this.” The article closes with a discussion of religious disapproval of LGB people and a quote from Assistant Dean of Richmond College and faculty advisor of the Lambda Coalition, David Braverman, who states that people who object to “the issue of homosexuality” should remember “mercy and forgiveness.” Subject The topic of the resource College students Homophobia Lambda Coalition LGBTQ people LGBTQ students Student organizations Language A language of the resource English Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Collegian77.18.2-19910221.png Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Kendall, Kevin.

Ricks, Multicultural Programmer for Stanford University, came to the University and remarked that "students here are too intelligent to be so ignorant." This article talks about that remarks and about Ricks, who went on to say that "it's horrendous for a university of this caliber to have such a lack of diversity." Kendall, the writer, goes on to say that "it gives a false impression of the real world" and draws more attention to the apathy of the student body and a seeming unwillingness to go above and beyond. The author says that to make things better, students must send a clear message that "this is a campus that welcomes diversity," and that Richmond had a chance to prepare for diversity before it arrives that Stanford didn't have.

Description An account of the resource This University of Richmond Collegian article describes a Commission on Diversity spearheaded by University President Richard L. Morrill that intends to address “the problem of the minority experience” on campus. The article begins with a description of a racist incident against a Black female student which occurred in a University class just three years prior to the publication of this article. The commission will not only address the racism Black students experience in the classroom, but also how students treat University employees in the dormitories and dining hall, who are largely people of color. At the time of this article, there were 84 Black students, 40 non-Black students of color, and 15 international students in an undergraduate class of 2,700, with less than 10 Black faculty members. The University’s plan is to “double the number of minority and international students currently enrolled within five years and there will also be a concerted effort to increase black faculty.” Curriculum changes such as adding African literature, Black American literature and a multicultural course along with teaching the Western Civilization history course are also in the works. Pam Johnson, a member of the Multicultural Student Union (MSU) and president of Women Involved in Living and Learning (WILL), said Black fraternities and sororities would help convince Black students to attend the University of Richmond. Dean of faculty David Leary adds that Americans in general need to understand that the reason for bring minority students to predominantly white institutions is to give them an opportunity.

Description An account of the resource In a 20-4 vote, the faculty of the E. Claiborne Robins School of Business rejects a motion passed by the Arts and Sciences Faculty recommending that “sexual orientation” be added to the University of Richmond’s anti-discrimination policy. The faculty of Arts and Sciences approved this recommendation on the condition that it attain further approval from the Business School, Law School, Administration, and Trustees before implementation. According to R. Clifton Poole, Dean of the Business School, the motion was born out of a discussion surrounding student discrimination in the ROTC program on campus, and that the motion concealed a “hidden agenda,” one that attempts to remove the ROTC program from campus. Joseph D. Harbaugh, dean of The T.C. Williams School of Law, disapproves of the recommendation, claiming he has “…no evidence that American business uses sexual orientation as an employment standard.” Without this evidence, he believes discrimination based on sexual orientation is not applicable to the policies of the American Association of Law Schools, which the school operates under. A member of the University of Richmond’s Lambda Coalition spoke about this motion, explaining that the organization does not wish for the removal of the ROTC program from campus, but instead pleads for a change in the homophobic policies of the Department of Defense.

Description An account of the resource This 1991 Collegian article focuses on the Richmond College assistant dean and the faculty advisor to the Lambda Coalition, David Braverman, receiving six drunk phone calls making "jokes about the idea of of a support group for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and supporters of their rights." The support group for LGBTQ+ students was approved as an official campus organization, however people still called asking, "Why do we need a homosexual support group? There's no heterosexual support group." Braverman expressed sympathy with the Lambda Coalition as he stressed that college should be a time for exploration, both personal and academic. The article also links the need for the support group, with the ways LGBTQ+ people are being persecuted in the military, as they discuss how in the Persian Gulf war "homosexuals" are being thrown out of the armed forces after the fighting is over. The article makes a point of stating how psychological research states that such punishment, and exclusion causing gay individuals to hide their identity is damaging to their mental and physical health. There is also some concern about how the ROTC program at the University requests that freshman ROTC students sign a form stating they will not participate or promote homosexual behavior which is damaging if students do discover their sexuality while they are in their college years.

Description An account of the resource This 1991 Collegian article discusses the Lambda Coalition, a group on campus created to support LGBTQ+ individuals. It is named the Lambda Coalition as the lambda symbol is a recognized symbol of queer activism by the Gay Activist Alliance in New York City. The main focus of this article was interviewing roommates and close friends of gay, bisexual, and lesbian students on campus to see how they dealt with their friend's sexuality. The first story is of close friends and roommates Caroline and Faye. Caroline told Faye that she was a lesbian, and Faye states that, "You can say all you want about being open minded, but until you put it to the test you really don't know." Faye had various questions running through her mind, wondering why her friend did not tell her sooner, why she was saying this, if Caroline was attracted to her and so on. She even states that she felt as though her "heterosexuality was being tested," and that "homophobia is a lot of fear of finding homophobia in yourself." When Faye talked about it with her mother, her mother's largest concern was if Caroline could 'turn' Faye into a lesbian. The article explains that there is no scientific evidence of a person being 'turned' to homosexuality, and that often it simply makes one question their own sexuality. Faye eventually came to terms with Caroline's sexuality, and she states that they remain close friends. Robert, a roomate and friend of Richard, who is bisexual states that, "It doesn't seem to me that sexual habits should determine how people relate to each other." Robert also says after meeting Richard he became more conscious of using derogatory gay slurs in his conversations. Joseph, a senior, who is a gay man, explained how many heterosexual couples do deviant things behind closed doors, and that people should mind their own business when it comes to the bedroom. The article ends with Faye's experience of being taken to a lesbian bar by Caroline, and realizing that "intimacy is intimacy, no matter who the people are."
