Ursinus College campus, 2012
Description
An account of the resource
This article from the March 1st, 2012 edition of the Ursinus College Grizzly newspaper announces the beginning of a retreat for the college’s Board of Trustees. At this meeting the board plans to discuss a strategic diversity plan based on three campus diversity reports. These reports come from the Teagle Home Team, the Faculty Committee on Diversity, and the Presidential Committee on Race and Equality. There is a note from then-president Dr. Bobby Fong that the three recommendations “sometimes diverge”, and that the largest of these divergences concerns the implementation of a specific Chief Diversity Officer position (which one report suggests and the other two deem unnecessary). The report which argues for the new position asserts that the most pressing issues affecting campus diversity are those of “visibility and transparency,” and such a person would provide structure and clarity to all of the “diversity work” on campus. The article closes with the information that the Ursinus community can publicly discuss the reports after spring recess, and that Collegeville residents can contribute their ideas online. This article displays part of the back and forth discussions, particularly in 1987-1988, regarding the best ways to recruit and retain students of color.

Description
An account of the resource
The newspaper article details an Ursinus College board meeting in 2012 regarding diversity on campus. A report given to the board by the FDC expresses dissatisfaction with the current handling of diversity affairs on campus. It is stated in the report, that a new Ursinus Committee on diversity would help distribute responsibilities which were at the time unstructured. Also addressed is a common issue regarding diversity on campus, "visibility, and transparency." The college community was said to be allowed to address topics of the CPPC's workgroups later that semester and the Collegeville community as well. The campus discussion was held high in importance and regard to the board in making their decisions.

Description
An account of the resource
These two typed pages are the constitution drawn up for the Minority Students Union. Although it is undated it was pulled from the Ursinusiana archives from a folder labeled 1987/1988 so can be tentatively dated to that general timeline. The constitution includes description of the organization's purpose - to foster a sense of awareness and serve as a support system and unifying body, as well as information about officer roles and duties, voting, and meeting plans. Another specific function of the organization and officers is to promote cultural programming on campus. The organization is open to any member of the college community.

Description
An account of the resource
Staff writer, Nipun Suri, wrote “Black History Celebrated Across Ursinus Campus” on February 22, 2000, from the Ursinus student newspaper, The Grizzly. Paulette Patton was key in planning and creating cultural and artistic events designed to educate the Ursinus campus community of black history. Historical events were centered around the civil rights movement during the ’60s. Films were shown, brief lectures, and chapel services were held to “honor, remember, and celebrate the past.” Dean Todd McKinney weighs in his thoughts and feels that there needs to be more incorporation of black history than just one month of focus.

Can a Black Man Find Happiness at Ursinus? Well...
Subject
The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
Description
An account of the resource
The article was a student-conducted interview between Richard Whaley, the interviewer and creator of the article, and Nathaniel Dupree, a black political science major at the time. In this interview, the two discuss Nathaniel's general happiness on campus as he attempts to assimilate into college life. The article goes into questions such as first impression of Ursinus, professors and their treatment of students, and much more. Dupree goes into detail about his experiences on weekends, and his opinions on why students transfer from Ursinus to another institution. Specifically, Dupree talks a lot about being a minority on Ursinus' campus, and how he feels regarding that as it relates to social life and academics. This undoubtedly encompasses student retention, as he was one that happened to stay among a student body who others often left. However, Dupree also highlights the racial realities faced by black students(and more than likely minority students too) at the time, in their struggle to settle on Ursinus' campus.

Black And Beautiful
Subject
The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
Description
An account of the resource
“Black and Beautiful” is a newspaper article contained in volume 67 of The Ursinus Weekly. Published on January 11th, 1968, this article serves as a form of student activism geared towards dismantling the white supremacy in the 60s and 70s. Written by Byron Jackson, a political science major, and an Ursinus graduate of the class of 69, wrote this article in order to emphasize the necessity to find a solution to the problem of race relations at the time. Jackson writes about the “Black Revolution” that had been in its prime at the date of release of this article. He highlights that “the former Negro now calls himself and desires to be called the Afro-American” and emphasizes that “the Negro is searching for his identity because without it, he cannot have a cohesive force to take of what he has so long been deprived.” Essentially, Jackson is speaking on the idea that, as we’ve discussed in class, African Americans were facing oppression across the nation attempting to gain equality in a white dominated society. Lastly, in reference to the race relations problem he and most African Americans were facing at the time, Jackson suggests: “no one has found the correct solution yet, and who knows if ever there will be a solution”, showing signs of doubt that the conflict of white supremacy vs black power will ever end.

"Admission of Negro Girls Provides Difficult Situation"
Subject
The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
Description
An account of the resource
On May 23, 1968, Linda Richtmyre writes in The Ursinus Weekly
illustrating the necessity to actively acknowledge and the act of seeking after "the prospect of inclusion of any Negro girls in the next freshman class." There were difficulties seeking out such inclusion through Office of Admission. The financial aid offices of bigger universities would often offer financial grants to promote their diversity, which raised concern to students at Ursinus. The author made apparent of the difficult situation Ursinus and its students try attracting a very marginalized group of people in America: black and female. There was a concern in how the students could "recruit" black women to Ursinus.

Minority Student Concerns and Suggestions, 1988-1990
Subject
The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
Description
An account of the resource
Three typed pages listing "concerns of current minority students" followed by suggestions for the following year. While exact date of creation and author are unclear, the sources were found in Richard P. Richter's 1988-1990 Minorities files, giving us a general approximation. The concerns of these students at the time include noticing obvious socioeconomic differences between themselves and other students, struggling to succeed academically during their first semester, and feeling limited to “other (Black/Hispanic) students” for social purposes. Suggestions for the following year include working to increase minority representation in the student body, a follow up to the Bridge Program beyond a student’s first year, a statement of sensitivity from the President or a Dean to aid student adjustments and differences, a scholarship targeted towards students of color, and a specific student recruiter focused on students of color. This last suggestion coincides with similar suggestions from others for new full-time roles, which President Richter seemed resistant to in previous memos.
