Your Turn: Boosting diversity through minority scholarships would help all
Nov. 12, 2007Thanks to Alissa Griffith for her Thursday column inviting OU alums to consider donating to minority scholarship funds (and thanks to The Post for running the column). I want to add that increasing the diversity of the OU student body is good for everyone. For many students, college is a first step outside the familiar environment they grew up in, into a larger world full of new people and experiences. If that world is populated with people from a wide range of backgrounds, and if it offers opportunities for those people to interact across lines that conventionally separate us, we become better able to appreciate the common humanity that underlies our differences. And when we move on from college to take up roles in the larger community, we are better prepared to shape the structures of our cultural and political systems that perpetuate, or dismantle, those troubling divisions. If, on the other hand, college is four more years of associating with only people like us
Your Turn: Police seem more concerned with underage drinking than with real safety problems
Nov. 12, 2007As a worker at Baker University Center, I was extremely disturbed to find out that as one of my fellow employees got off work at 2 a.m., her car window was smashed in and the police failed to assist her. In a dark alley at 2 a.m., the Athens Police took their time in assuring her safety as it took about 45 minutes to arrive to her vehicle. I'm sure they had their hands full with the Halloween festivities to bother paying attention to a young girl who needed help in a dark alley. So while the arrests of Halloween this year were lowered, so was the safety enforcement of the police. I'm glad to know that they will be concerned as much as to arrive on their own time if I am ever stranded in a dark alley, for apparently busting underage drinkers is their top priority.
