Housing ‘not meant’ for white students
A student housing group associated with the University of California, Berkeley, is staying silent regarding questions about its nonwhite “Person of Color†student housing, a facility that one official said is “not meant†for non-minority students.
The Berkeley Student Cooperative’s Person of Color House was opened in the fall of 2016 with the goal of “increas[ing] inclusivity for low-income students and students of color,†according to a report in The Daily Californian at the time.
The housing option was created as part of an effort at “creating a safer, more inclusive space for historically and presently marginalized low-income students of color and those from multicultural backgrounds,†according to the cooperative’s website. The housing is equipped with 56 bed spaces and is wheelchair accessible.
