  1. Racism in college is a pervasive and persistent issue. Despite the legal and social progress that has been made in the fight against racism, many college campuses across the United States still struggle with subtle and overt forms of racism. For example, students of color often experience microaggressions when attending college. Microaggressions are subtle discriminatory comments or actions that can make students feel unwelcome, misunderstood, and excluded. Additionally, some students may experience outright discrimination based on their race or ethnic background. This could include being excluded from activities or groups on campus, or even receiving lower grades than their peers for the same work. Furthermore, college campuses often lack adequate representation of people of color, especially in faculty and administration positions. This can make it difficult for students of color to feel comfortable and supported while attending college. In order to create an equitable and inclusive college environment, administrators must take proactive steps to combat racism on campus. These steps could include hiring more diverse faculty and staff, providing resources for students of color, and implementing sensitivity training for faculty, staff, and students. By taking these proactive steps, college administrators can help create a more equitable and welcoming environment for all students.
