What's Going on with Exposure?
Subject
The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
Description
An account of the resource
In The Grizzly, published February 1st, 2007, Jon Gagas wrote “What’s going on with Exposure.” One evening the semester prior, Exposure had a potluck dinner where students of every color came together for a communal meal. Exposure is a group that gives students a faculty a forum for exposing their experiences of harassment and discrimination, as well as exposing people of different backgrounds. President Heather Saunders of Exposure believed the dinner was an achievement where it gives people of all “religious traditions, races, and sexual identities a place to dialogue.” Exposure is a response from students at Ursinus College that have created a designated time and place for all people of color to come together and build relationships with one another.

Ursinus Joins the National Minority Faculty Identification Program
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 series of primary sources documenting the college's joining of The Chronicle of Higher Education's Minority Faculty Vita Bank, and related documents explaining and describing exactly what that means. The first document is a one-page letter from the Director of the National Minority Faculty Identification Program, Dr. William B. Jones, dated August 5th, 1987. The letter is to then-president Richard P. Richter inviting Ursinus College to join the program and explaining the program’s function. The program is a “computerized minority faculty databank for member institutions,” offering lists of candidates and access to resumes. Dr. Jones also mentions that participating institutions will be listed in an advertisement in The Chronicle of Higher Education so long as they join by a certain date. The following document is a handwritten note from August 10th, addressed to President Richter (“RPR”) explaining that Ursinus has decided to join, and referring to “attached” for more information. The “attached” consists of the next three pages - one pulled from the January 7, 1987 Chronicle list of Minority Faculty Vita Bank, and the next two listing information about the program (number of participants, demographics, statistics on the types of degrees, etc.).

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.

An account of the resource
In this newspaper article, the author writes about the initial treatment that black students being admitted to Ursinus were facing. In specific, he argues about the age of the student and the rights that they have earned and continue to earn. However, Jackson talks about how to more effectively recruit black students, whom recieve a large white shock when they come to an administration like Ursinus. Additionally, Jackson emphasizes that the institution not only "lure" black students into their institution, but that they also carve a path to a degree for prospective black students. He talks about the necessity of the student in general to not stagnate, and to continue to make themselves better off. He lastly mentions programs like Upward Bound that would help the culturally deprived and disadvantaged black students.

The Black Stereotype - A Dead Era
Subject
The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
Description
An account of the resource
In this article of the Ursinus Weekly, Byron Jackson goes into small detail about the movement for student rights. The article attempts to bridge the gap between the acquisition of student rights, and the striving of black people towards their deserved place in society. Essentially, Byron Jackson tries to debunk the idea that black students fighting for their rights are all Black Nationalists. Simply put, the scenario described had involved Black Nationalists fighting for their rights under the guise of being students. However, Jackson attempts to falsify this claim, because as he states "each individual black person is his own person." In other words, Black Student Activism had been given a bad look as it related to black peoples movement in general towards equality, this stereotype reached black students, and Jackson here attempts to remove it. This would effect black students for generations, as they would be seen as parts of the Black Power movement, taking away from their fight for individual freedom.

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.
