Before freshmen even set foot on campus, the Freshman Dean’s Office tells students that “questions about identity and privilege seem especially important to consider”—identity with respect to “race and class,” that is. Socioeconomic and racial components of one’s life are worthy of focus, but these are not the only areas about which critical thought would benefit students.
