Dartmouth's 'Seemingly Endless Diversity Initiatives' Failing Badly
"Diversity" is fast becoming the new segregation.

A shining example of the failures of the relentless pursuits of forced diversity is playing out on the Ivy League campus of Dartmouth College. Students and researchers alike are witnessing a breakdown between the races and an increase in tensions among them.

The Dartmouth Review writes about the college's "seemingly endless initiatives on diversity" stemming from efforts by administration to create an atmosphere dubbed "Inclusive Excellence" and its failure to show any meaningful results in its misguided attempts.

Dartmouth's own Associate Director for Curricular and Research Programs at The Nelson A. Rockefeller Center Ronald Shaiko, has been warning about the "diversity puzzle" for some time now. His research and writing have resurfaced in conversations surrounding this new era of campus protests by the "Black L***s M****r" movement that have not only infiltrated Dartmouth's campus, but campuses nation wide.

Back in 2013, Shaiko wrote:

I can attest to the fact that the benefits of diversity do not spontaneously arise merely from the presence of a varied student body. It is amazing to me the amount of effort undertaken to create diverse incoming classes while comparatively little is done to create a "choice architecture," to borrow a phrase from behavioral economics, that would "nudge" students into interactions outside of their comfort zones. Without such nudges, students will default to sameness or, in the words of the political scientist Robert Putnam, they will "hunker down" with students like themselves.

Dartblog, a daily blog for the school, has a recent article about Shaiko's assessment and speaks from experience about how things have worsened on campus:

If you have ever wondered how it can be that two generations of affirmative action and diversity besottedness have brought us to the worst campus race relations in memory, the Senior Fellow and Associate Director for Curricular and Research Programs at the Rockefeller Center, Ronald Shaiko, has thoughts that will make blood boil in Parkhurst.

Shaiko recently spoke with The Dartmouth Review explaining what his research has continued to uncover:

"The choice architecture that’s in place at most universities is one that facilitates the bonding side – we go out of our way to make people comfortable, give them the opportunity to be with people just like them – and I think that’s just not the way to do it… [The bonding aspect] will happen on its own – you’re going to gravitate toward people like you as a matter of human nature. So why do anything to promote that at the expense of mixing with people that aren’t just like you?"
"In many ways it seems to be admitting failure that you have to have safe spaces on campus. It’s saying that the campus is not comfortable enough for people of all walks of life to take part in without feeling some pain or some fear… So the notion of requiring that to be a part of your experience is really a mark against the institution, that there’s a need felt by a critical mass of people that they have to have a space that’s their own, and that no one else but them can take advantage of that space."
"Everyone’s afraid to say what he feels, and that’s terrible, that’s not a way for a university to operate, and so we’re in a tough position, where we can’t even be honest with each other. That to me is the crux of the problem. We’re not even to the point where we can have communication in an adult, rational, honest way. We can’t even articulate our own views in an honest fashion without feeling like we’re going to get our heads chopped off."
"The more diversity you get, the harder it’s going to be to be a diverse campus. So we’ve set ourselves up for failure in that sense… What we really have is fourteen different colleges going on and they just share the same faculty. I don’t think that’s what people had in mind [with regards to creating] more diverse campuses."
There's more details to Shaiko's research, here, but Dartmouth alum are speaking out about the matter and comparing it to their experiences. One instance comes from the comments section of the Review's interview with Shaiko. User name Vox_Clams describes a very different time in the not too distant past:

Back in the 70's, we called it integration, and virtually everyone favored it. Integration efforts yielded mix results… but for the most part, the direction was positive. Students went out of their way to embrace the opportunity to become friends with someone from a different ethnic group. Integration, of course, was facilitated by the fact that the only color that mattered was Dartmouth Green.

This is a notion shared by Dartblog who echoed the sentiment: "In my time in North Fayerweather the dorm’s residents lived happily together as equals, even though many were members of groups that had at one time in the past been scorned by White Anglo-Saxon Protestants for their difference: Jews, Catholics, Swedes, Irish, Germans, Asians, Italians. Even a Canadian. Of course, at the time none of us noticed. We were all Dartmouth students."

The former student from the 1970s especially hit the nail on the head describing how diversity is fast becoming a new form of segregation:

Now we have "diversity," which has turned into a euphemism for segregation. Not surprisingly, with all this emphasis on "diversity," segregation has made a comeback that the most avid r****t of the 1950's would envy. There is a movement afoot at Dartmouth and elsewhere for residences where only "people of color" are welcome. I fail to see the distinction between marking those "affinity houses" and marking the drinking fountains "colored."

"Heads chopped off," PG, may be closer than you think. Of course invasion, ens***ement, rape, conversion, polygamy, p********a and non-assimilation are all part of a 5th century plan and "agenda," for "world domination," and Islamic terrorism is now pouring and swarming over our purposely porous borders, while being quietly and deceptively "imported" to America by every means possible, and even the professional terrorists from "Gitmo" are about to be infesting and infecting our American prison systems with real "battle-field," Jihad experience.

And, of course, the criminal element of those same prisons have been specifically trained in the glories of the "Holy" ["BHB"] Qur'an by "Holy" Islamic Imams who have been circulating around our American politics, government, NGO's, Czar positions, Cabinet members, education and our prison systems in America, and throwing "God and OUR HOLY BIBLE" off our planet for "generations." "East is East and West is West, and never..." - Hummmmmm. NOT!!!

"WE" must now adapt the current situation in Western free-market civilizations to realize that Islam will NEVER assimilate with ANYTHING or ANYBODY but Islam. "And never the two" will "assimilate." Churches, world-wide are now being burned, and non-Muslims are being treated as sub-humans by each branch of 5th century Islam; and our school systems are a great place to start!!! I see many "Burkas" are being passed around American schools to teach Americans about the Islamic culture; how about those same students in America and, of course the Middle East, learn to accept and erect Judeo-Christian churches at the same rate as Mosques, and learn the comfort of "short-shorts," and hair waving in the breeze. Sound good?!!?!?!?!

And, "we" MUST come to the realization that once ALL the non-Muslims and different "branches" of the devilish and/or less-radical Muslims "branches" are ens***ed, converted, raped, mutilated, decapitated, the whipping, ens***ement, crucifixion, m********n, dismemberment, etc., will continue until the most radical Muslim of the most radical branch... You get my point. Hummmmmmm, again. Is this what YOU want???

"diversity" should extend beyond the athletic department, that might help a little. The other is allowing students to pick their schools, instead of the school picking their students. None of the, so called, Ivy league schools were ever serious about diversity, they are more concerned with kissing the a$$es of the alumni.

So, they get what they didn't pay for.

"Misery loves company". Even if the "misery is only "perceived", the "strength in numbers" concept perpetuates this "misery" and allows it to become "real". This is manifested in various "groups" trying to change heretofore laws and policies made for the "majority" into laws and policies "against the majority". The problem is.... it seems to be working!

Now stick 5th century Islam into the mix, 37, and suddenly Burkas are abundant and "morality police" are dictating "subjugation" with a whip. Rape, p********a, polygamy, non-assimilation, ens***ement, m********n, dismemberment and crucifixion are all part of Mohammed's 5th century militaristic Islamic ideology for eventual "world domination;" and "divide and conquer" has ALWAYS been the best way to militarily overwhelm each minority in ANY race. Now put ALL the minorities together with just one goal - at-a-time, and "ba-da-bing!!!" God works in mysterious ways.

This is the way it should be whether an ivy league school or an average public college. There is a field called equal opportunity for all. It doesn't matter whether you are White, Black, Yellow, Male or Female. You can play and participate if you are willing to work, make the committment and do wh**ever to assure your success. When you have completed the gauntlet, you have the right to enjoy your accomplishment w/o the Government taking it away from you by taxation, regulation, etc. America is the only nation on the face of the planet thar offers such an opportunity. For some reason you don't make it, you have nobody to blame but yourself. This great nation owes you nothing, but you owe it everything. These Liberal Elitest need to start remembering that. For the last 50 years, they have done nothing but compromise and destroy this great nation. It is about time people gave them the boot and throw their sorry asses out on the curve. We would all be better for it.

Yep, but we need to remove the elitists from BOTH ends of the spectrum. Having only one set of elitist bastards would be a worse disaster.

An example would be the words above the Supreme Court building, "equal under the law", which would need to be modified to add " except when you're not ".
