Because Separate But Equal worked out so well last time it was tried, Princeton has given in to protesters [princeton.edu] and agreed to create "Affinity Housing" rooms. Read as "we don't want no crackers in our room".
On the second demand concerning the creation of Affinity Housing:
- Immediately designate four rooms in the Carl A. Fields Center that will be used by Cultural Affinity Groups. This promise was verbalized by VP Calhoun.
- BJL members will be involved in a working group with the staff of the Residential Colleges to begin discussions on the viability of the formation of Affinity Housing for those interested in black culture. This promise was verbalized by Dean Dolan.
Because nothing says diversity like excluding people based on race.
