Staggering forward

Nearly 16 years after UW-Madison came under fire for photoshopping a black student on the 2001-’02 Undergraduate Application’s cover photo that created a facade of diversity, #TheRealUW movement has once again crashed the illusion of a diverse and inclusive campus for all. In a March 31 video responding to a threatening note slipped under a student’s door, Vice Provost and Chief Diversity Officer Patrick Sims said he wanted to build a foundation that ensures students in the future would never have to experience these threats of violence and level of hate, which he compared to Jim Crow-era racism.

UW-Madison ethnic and indigenous studies faculty draft campus climate proposal

After a string of anti-Semitic and racist incidents on campus, UW-Madison faculty from the four ethnic and indigenous studies departments sent Chancellor Rebecca Blank a proposal with their ideas on how to improve the campus climate for students of color. The proposal is grounded in recent demands by students of color that the university work to improve cultural competency throughout campus, as well as improve the recruitment and retention of students and faculty of color. The proposal asks for increased faculty in all ethnic and indigenous studies departments, as well as support for redevelopment of the course “Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies.” Afro-American Studies professor Sandra Adell said the new course would be restructured to rotate between each of the ethnic studies and indigenous studies units, including Afro-American, American Indian, Asian American and Chican@/Latin@ Studies. The course will be offered by a different department each semester, in which a lead professor from the department offering the course will bring expertise to the class.
