The "Race@Harvard" forum on Wednesday night was a wonderful discussion. However, it stopped at discussion. Student panel member Sewell Chan '98 and Undergraduate Council President Beth A. Stewart '00 both expressed discontent with Harvard's role in promoting race relations, accusing the Administration of not taking a proactive stance...
While panelist Professor Cornel R. West '74 agreed that Harvard still has much progress to make in promoting integration and diversity on campus, he said in the 28 years that have elapsed since his undergraduate days at Harvard, the University has made huge strides in combatting racism and segregation.
"We want to encourage something more thanintegration because integration does not includepeople taking pride in who they are and where theyare from," he added.
Undergraduate Council President Beth A. Stewart'00, however, questioned the extent to which theUniversity should actively promote integration andinvolve itself in the privacy of students lives.
"Do we want total integration or are we willingto sacrifice that so people have more meaningfulexperiences at Harvard?" she said. "Are thosemutually exclusive?"
