After a semester of controversy, scandal and questionable actions from university administration, another issue of race has surfaced.
The reports of racial issues in Threlkeld were confirmed by university administration and students this week. Racially-based comments and drawings have been going on since October. And while Dean of Students Michael Mardis said “student well-being” is U of L’s top priority, I disagree.
The fact the issue was acknowledged only after the Facebook post about it became viral confirms this. First reports of the incident stretch back almost three months, yet the issue was not publicly addressed.
