"I have my moments when I think this whole thing is an appeasement and that the only thing that I'm doing is helping a group of minority students develop bourgeois values to perpetuate an evil. And on the other hand, I think I see people that I know, in fact, would never have had a chance to have any type of professional aspirations unless we helped them," Doe says...
