A Question on Diversity
Subject
The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
Description
An account of the resource
A "Roving Reporter" Asks Students their opinions on the diversity of the campus. In it, many of the students specify one of two different opinions, that the campus lacks diversity, or it does not, and then explain why they think so in varying levels of detail. Among those that think Ursinus College lacks diversity, they agree that it it not the College itself, but the students. While minorities aren't segregated, there are groups of students that do not stray from their respective groups. They even go into further detail, citing peoples lack of understanding of certain cultures. These students, who have a problem with the diversity(or lack thereof) on Ursinus' campus are not coincidentally the majority, showing clearly how people on campus were reacting to racial tension on campus.

Flamer Proposal and Analysis, Minority Recruitment and Retention, 1989
Subject
The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
Description
An account of the resource
This is a compilation of primary sources all related to Jenneen Flamer's 1989 proposals for minority recruitment and retention. Jenneen Flamer was the Admission Counselor and Minority Student Adviser at Ursinus College in 1989. The first page is a memo from Ms. Flamer to President Richard P. Richter explaining the importance of programs which foster self-identity to make minority students more comfortable on campus. The following four pages are her extended proposal of changes to implement on campus - namely for there to be four new positions to help with minority recruitment and retention. The next page is Richard Richter's analysis of Flamer's proposal, in which he supports increasing attention towards the tasks Flamer has outlined but not the addition of specific titles or new full time positions. He asks in handwritten pen at the top of his analysis for a colleague's input. This input makes up the last page. While the author of this last analysis is unknown, he or she mainly agrees with Richter's thoughts.

Description
An account of the resource
This is a one-page memo and one-page attachment from President Richard Richter to Yvette Dennis and Audrey Wade on April 2nd of 1990 regarding the college's library holdings in African-American Studies and plans to increase these holdings.

The report drawn up by Charles Jamison outlines the 704 titles currently held as well as plans in the future to order new editions of key African-American Studies texts and a commitment to prioritize this area of collection. This effort coincides with many others under President Richter's administration to increase the college's attractiveness for African American students and other students of color.

The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
Description
An account of the resource
A one-page typed document recounting the events of the Minority Affairs Committee's March 23, 1989 meeting. The meeting begins with a statement about the goals of the committee (to discuss matters relating to students of color at Ursinus and promote in the community "the fact that Ursinus is committed to ethnic and cultural diversity"). The specific topics covered that day included the "Ursinus Seeks Diversity" brochure, an emphasis on admissions and recruitment, means of identifying and accessing students of color in order to recruit, and the need for a revised admission statement which would include increasing the proportion of students of color as a part of the community and college-wide agenda. There is mention of the need for education campus-wide on minority issues, but not much is mentioned in the way of direct plans or deliverables.

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.

An account of the resource
This "Ursinus Seeks Diversity" brochure, distributed in 1989, contains a collection of lists and information which are specifically marketed towards students from diverse backgrounds (as stated on the second page: "For Students From Diverse Backgrounds: A Book of Lists").

"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.

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.
