To become a good engineer of business major, a student must first study the all-important subjects of race and ethnicity — at least according to student government leaders at the University of Michigan, who are working to extend the liberal arts college’s race requirements to all colleges of the university.
The Central Student Government, aims to reform the requirement that all students in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts study race and ethnicity before graduation. Moving forward, all students–even those in the Colleges of Engineering and Business — would be forced to take a class with a racial component, if the proposal were approved by faculty.
Sagar Lathia, president of the LSA Student Government, which is separate from CSG, supports the change. He told The Michigan Daily that students studying business and economics had just as much reason to take R&E classes as their peers in LSA.
It would be helpful for economics students to study “poverty, inequality and labor through the scope of race,”. Activists hope that any proposal approved by the administration would assert identity-based themes — such as gender, sexuality, immigration status, religion and race — as a core focus of the curriculum at each of the university’s colleges.
The proposal is support by the Black Student Union, a race-based activist group at UM that recently made news for presenting a list of demands to the university. Administrators immediately caved to group’s most costly demand: a $300,000 renovation of the campus’s multicultural center. BSU activist Shayla Scales said the proposal was all about creating more diversity.
“I truly believe innovation lies in the crevices of diversity,” she said in a statement. “Making sure that we incorporate diversity in all of our thinking and the way that we see the world will only lead to innovation.”

OOoooooooooo......
Now DAT would bve RACISS!
Or even a Book entitled “Tiger Mom”! LOL
i was forced to take racial studies as a sophomore in engineering school at NC State in 1962
Your comments were all apt. "activist Shayla Scales" is not focused on the realities of race & ethnic diversity, but on a myopic agenda that basically denies reality.
The Left is compulsion driven. If you do not understand the Compulsion For Uniformity, their bizarre antics will never make any real sense. (Of course, all Leftists share that compulsion, including Marxists, Bolsheviks, Nazis, & America's faux "liberals.")

Just thinking: what would all these leftists be saying if the course on race and ethnicity were taught by a professor like Dr. Charles Murray, or if Murray's books The Bell Curve and Human Accomplishment were the required texts?
All hell would break loose. Liberals would never put up with someone doing to them what they're trying to do to us...
Thanks justiceseeker93.
I truly believe that her brain is lodged in a certain crevise, and likely to fall out if she comes too hard.
Sounds like the same as the argument for gay 'marriage'.
If they want diversity as a goal, start with the basketball program not the College of Engineering.
AND pass it...
“Crevices of diversity” .
Why does that sound like a XXX parody movie?
