George Washington University is one step closer to adopting a system for students to anonymously report microaggressions.
That was among recommendations made by students from multicultural student organizations including the Black Student Union and Organization of Latino American Students, at a Howard University meeting with D.C. university presidents, The GW Hatchet reports.
Joined by his counterparts from Howard and American University, GW President Steven Knapp said in a school release: “I think we got some great ideas that we are going to be able to take back to GW. It’s been a very constructive occasion.”
Those included “a faculty mentorship program that identifies minority student mentees across universities, an anonymous reporting structure for students who experience racism or microaggressions and a mandatory history course that teaches students cultural competencies and the context of racial inequality in America.”
