Ethnic counseling to see reform
Dean’s Office looks to broaden support network for freshmen’s social, cultural transitions
12:05, this would be funny if only it were from The Onion, but knowing that this is serious, this is not so much funny as really, really sad.
Great to known my tuition is so well spent...
Hey, it it weren't for your tuition and the billions of Yale endowments, all these diversity drones would just be swelling New Haven's homeless population. So count your blessings, fool.
'This proposal isn’t just about changing the freshman counselor position or changing the ethnic counselor position,” she said. “This is really about changing the culture at Yale so that we have a culture where students aren’t afraid to talk about diversity, they’re not afraid to talk about race and they really understand the ways in which ethnicity plays a role in their life within the residential colleges.” '
Good heavens. Is she paid by the word?
As Charlie Brown would say, "Good grief!" I'm an alum, and my (brilliant) freshman's counselor main job was to drag mattresses into the bathroom and strum Joan Baez tunes to make us feel better while we vomited. In other words, to help get us through - not to indoctrinate us. Yale, please re-think this vague mishmash of a policy!
I also thought this was a joke initially. Wow.
This is going to end up biting the multiculturalists in the butt. The more absurd the programs they promote, and the more special privileges they ask for, the more they are going to turn off the mainstream.
And people wonder why the minorities complain about not feeling welcome here at Yale...
Honestly, the"Anonymous" comment #4 is just plain demeaning and hurtful. I'm getting the feeling that many of you might not be minorities and therefore do not see the need for an ethnic counselor program-not that those two are mutually inclusive-but by refusing to even attempt to understand a a racial minority's unique experience on this campus and our need for another network of support you only serve to divide Yale and sow strife.

This is unbelievable. It reads like an article from The Onion! Do these people realize they are becoming laughing stocks? I got a good chuckle out of this!
