Title

"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.

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
This Ursinus Grizzly newspaper article from September 23, 1988 coincides with the release of the first official Ursinus College Bridge Program report describing and assessing the Bridge Program. The article goes on to explain what the program is and why it is significant, pointing out that “ethnic and cultural diversity has not been a hallmark of the college,” and calling the Bridge Program “one of the most innovative endeavors Ursinus has taken.” It details the courses taken by the “Bridgers” and some of the field trips and side programs as well. These included introduction to the college community, practice in the Word Processing Lab and video-taping lab, trips to the Batch Institute for Ethnic Studies in Center City, and to Eagleville Hospital for Personality Disorders (as the main course taught was introductory Psychology). The article finishes on a positive note, mentioning the contentedness of the students who participated and plans from the administration to expand funding for the following year.

"Strategic Approaches to Multiculturalism in Higher Education"
Subject
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 encouraging the school to adapt new strategies for minorities to be able to obtain a higher education. The document begins with exhibiting the effects of having a diverse strategic approach influenced by a conference at Villanova University attended by the contributors of this document. The document brings up the suggestion of having a three-credit course that deals with racism. There should also be a new faculty member to take the role of a Minority Adviser to head up this new approach to a more diverse campus. This is an important position because it will not only help with working exclusively with students of color but also as a push for student programs to mature and evolve in a respecting and appreciating the merit of diversity on campus.

The topic of the resource
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
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.

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.

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.
