Sacramento State U. Looks to Increase Enrollment of Black Students, Microaggression Training

This is just further proof that the campus left is doubling down. Microaggressions are stupid.

Sacramento State U. aims to increase black student enrollment, microaggression training

Sacramento State University recently outlined a series of goals for “Black and/or African American student success” through 2030, including auditing syllabi, integrating microaggression trainings, and increasing black student enrollment, according to a 15-page document on its Black Honors College website.

The “Black Serving Institution Application,” published in June, is focused on “inclusion” and “equity” initiatives, with the latter word being mentioned 29 times throughout the document.

While the Black Honors College website states, “All university programs and activities are open and available to all regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin,” one of the goals listed in the report is to enroll “1,000 Black Honors College (BHC) scholars and increase overall Black student enrollment to 5,000 by 2030.”

The application is to achieve a California Black-Serving Institution designation, which recognizes higher education institutions that “excel at providing academic resources to Black and African American students,” according to the California State University website.

To qualify, an institution must show that at least 10 percent of its student population is black and submit an application outlining its efforts to serve these students.

However, a conservative advocate for racial unity raised concerns about the unintended effects when asked about Sacramento State’s goals for black students.

“Separation of races early leads to self-separation later in life; establishing racially biased tracking patterns and goading resources into communities solely by race sets the wrong precedent for harmony and achievement,” Kenny Xu, former president of Color Us United and author of the book “School of Woke,” told The College Fix in a recent email.

Meanwhile, the university defended its goals when contacted by The Fix.

“We are excited to apply for the official Black-Serving Institution (BSI) designation,” spokesperson Lanaya Lewis said in an email Thursday, noting the university already is a federally-recognized Hispanic-Serving Institution and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution.
