In one of my classes we were discussing the recent events that have transpired on our campuses. We had an open discussion about how it felt to be a person of color on these campuses. One student of color expressed that she when she was a freshman, she overheard two students discussing that Claremont Colleges were just accepting more students of color to increase their percentage. They were implying the only reason people of color were only able to attend these colleges was to improve the school’s image.
