I bet everything will either be vandalized or stolen within a month of opening.

In 2012, the graduation rate for all UConn students was 82.5 percent, while the graduation rate for black males was 54 percent


So if you backed out the black students from the overall graduation percentage it would really be like 95% vs 54%. Again, this shows without any shadow of a doubt that there is racism going on, unless you are a racist who thinks black people are about 8-9 times more likely to fail based only on their skin color.

I think they are talking about dorms for black college students (which I oppose), not a typical frat house.

You would have to know what % black males made up to figure that

Most of the fraternity houses on campus are kept looking nice. I imagine this place will look all ghetto and shite.

This will be as successful in bringing the marginal students up to par as the mindset that insists that black elementary and high school students be taught by subpar black teachers that graduated from excuses of black colleges. They can't read and write so how the hell can they teach it. The out of control spiral downward continues.

I was assuming it was around 20% of their student body because in their TV commercials for the university at least 1 in 5 students is a black male

Higher than I would have expected in a state like Connecticut.

And most black college students keep their dorms looking nice. But of course you'd imagine that. Race much?

I hope a loophole the size of South Park gets exploited on this.

College kids in general treat property like shite

Race and sex does not matter

I know this from so many property inspection of college apartment complexes

So it won't be any worse or better than whites. Thanks. That was my point. But the racers would say otherwise

make sure that every black kid at all levels gets their own school and isn't forced to interacte with white oppressors, as long as the schools are equal. The same goes for neighborhoods, healthcare, shopping malls, movie theaters....even cities and states.


They do.

It's called Africa.

UConn should just start handing out one way tickets

I do think blacks are less likely to graduate, although not as high as 8-9 times less likely. It's not a physiological issue, it's a cultural issue that causes this.

The mental gymnastics for this not being segregation on r/connecticut are hilarious

With affirmative action, I'd guess it probably allows more marginal AA students than white ones. Thus, a worse graduation rate for a very small population
