Central Michigan U. Will No Longer Require Prospective Students to Read About ‘White Privilege’
“Corey DeAngelis, senior fellow at the American Culture Project, exposed the requirement in a post Wednesday on X”
This is a win. This ‘social justice’ topic should never have been able to make its way into admissions in the first place.

Central Michigan U. ends ‘white privilege’ admissions reading after backlash
Central Michigan University has stopped requiring prospective counseling students to read and discuss a paper about “white privilege” as part of its interview process for admissions.
Corey DeAngelis, senior fellow at the American Culture Project, exposed the requirement in a post Wednesday on X, publishing a series of documents provided by a whistleblower who appears to have recently applied to the program.
Late Thursday, DeAngelis wrote the university had dropped the requirement after being “called out” by the whistleblower.
In an email DeAngelis shared, counseling Professor Sheri Pickover told prospective students that the university’s accreditor provided “updated guidance” on admissions last week that led to the change.
“Last week, you received an email from us with an article to read ahead of the virtual group interview — you are no longer required to read this article. We will not be discussing it during the interview process,” Pickover wrote, according to the screenshot DeAngelis posted.
Pickover did not immediately respond to an email from The College Fix, asking if she had any context or comment to add about the situation and how long the article had been a requirement of the admissions process.
The article was “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” by Peggy McIntosh, of Wellesley College, according to the unnamed whistleblower.
It begins by accusing men of being unwilling to “grant that they are overprivileged.”
“I think whites are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege, as males are taught not to recognize male privilege,” McIntosh writes.

by any means necessary
so they are not stopping
they have no fear at the local levels as the trend continues to hire omar and her blmplo adherents
Might white of them to drop the requirement.
“I think whites are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege, as males are taught not to recognize male privilege,” McIntosh writes.”
I’m so over this ploy of “I accuse you of X; if you deny it, it just means you are in denial that you do X.”
How about if I read the article on “White Privilege” back to back with similar articles on “Black Shiftlessness” and “Muslim Violence?” Then we can discuss which one of us is in denial over which topic.
Henry: Excellent recommendation.
And how would they respond to students who argue the concept of White privilege is a racist concept used to abuse and suppress White males, pretending they should be ashamed of enjoying a right to equality, to the extent they possess such?
Would it be safe to say prospective students would be vetoed on racial and ideological grounds?
