Where everyone is a special little snowflake.
Via Campus Reform:
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has taken another step toward implementing student diversity demands, releasing an updated plan that includes mandatory cultural sensitivity training and new diversity-related curriculum requirements.
The new “Diversity and Inclusivity Action Plan” comes amid intensifying criticism from SLO Solidarity, a student activist group that issued a 41-point ultimatum in November demanding action on a wide variety of diversity initiatives.
In March, SLO Solidarity wrote an open letter to Mustang News criticizing the university for moving too slowly on its demands.
“SLO Solidarity remains committed to envisioning and working towards a more diverse, inclusive and equitable Cal Poly,” they wrote. “Sadly, without an action plan ingrained with substance and accountability, the Cal Poly administration may not share our vision.”
The newly-released plan is an updated version of a draft that was released two months ago, and goes into greater detail regarding how the school expects to accomplish the goals outlined in the earlier plan, though Interim Executive Director of the Office of University Diversity and Inclusivity Jean DeCosta noted in an email to the campus community that it is still subject to further revision.
