Here I have an idea, match every scholarship you grant an african american student athlete with 5 more just like it for african american non athletes. That would feel a little more genuine. pffft of color my ass!
i believe that's part of the plan. more scholarships for underprivileged communities. i'm proud of this.
and if some people dont like a pro-diversity message at ksu public gatherings then maybe we dont them at our gatherings. i think we need people of all color and all origin to go to ksu. we will not survive with just farmers kids. i think that has already started to show itself. its past time to change our brand in order to help our future. i'll take all the farmers i can get and i'll also take anyone else. but i think farmers already feel welcome here. i'm not sure many others do.
have you ever seen a couple african american football recruits walking around the stadium during a game? i can't imagine how uncomfortable it must be for many of them. not because of offensive comments or looks. Just how different this world looks from theirs.
i dont think i would sign on to attend one of the historically black colleges. i understand how they might go home wondering if this is where they could feel comfortable
