RACISM - ALIVE AND WELL IN WISCONSIN
"Black students should
be offered free tuition and housing at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison because blacks were legally barred from education
during slavery and UW-Madison remains out of reach for black students
today, the student government said Wednesday.
The
Associated Students of Madison said in a resolution that students from
suburban high schools are overrepresented and that the consideration of
ACT and SAT scores in applications restricts opportunities for the poor
and thus upholds "white supremacy." Race relations have been a
contentious issue at the Wisconsin's flagship campus for months and the
university has proposed some measures aimed at improving diversity."
