I guess everyone missed the part that ANYONE can live there


They have carved out an area of housing that is "dedicated" to black students, but ANYONE can live there.

"The newly debuted Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community “focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory,” Cal State LA spokesman Robert Lopez told The College Fix via email.

The public university has 192 furnished apartments in a residential complex on campus, and the Halisi community will be located there, Lopez said, adding it joins other themed living-learning communities already housed there.

Lopez declined to answer any additional questions or provide more details on the new community, such as how many rooms it encompasses, and whether it’s a whole floor or just a few rooms.

Cal State LA joins UConn, UC Davis and Berkeley in offering segregated housing dedicated to black students. While these housing options are technically open to all students, they’re billed and used as arrangements in which black students can live with one another."

Personally I think students are better off living in diversity, but this doesn't seem as outrageous as some below seem to think. No one is being told where they HAVE to live. No one is being told where they CAN'T live.

And it's in the same friggin' complex as everyone else
