I was a freshman at UD in 2005 and I don't remember anything close to the events mentioned in the video. There were these diversity events, but they were optional. Everyone, including myself, thought the events were lame and the events were rarely attended. I also skipped the orientation meeting without any consequence, thus it was also optional. These events were stupid and everyone knew it, so most just did not go.
I was smart. I skipped the mandatory meetings. There were better things to do like make friends, do homework, go to church, or join a club. I got to work towards being a somewhat better citizen while keeping my values and culture.
If it was mandatory then they are victims. I see smoogligan has not read Orwell. Nor has a grasp of the history of the 20th century. And seems to have misplaced their dictionary.
Confess your sins, it will set you free. this is almost out of a Maoist re-education camp handbook
Oh, cry me a river. I disliked the LEAD program as much as any other freshman resident, but you make all the participants out to be victims. True, I was uncomfortable with some of the "diversity" programs, but was it really necessary for FIRE to use such inflammatory language to bring attention to the issue? It was way overblown, just like this video.
I mean, FIRE called the ResLife program "Orwellian"? Please.
This is profoundly important. The intrusion upon the inner sanctum of privacy is truly beyond the pale. I hope this gets the widest possible circulation.
I am a student at UD and it fucking sucks.

Those dorms are on Central. Freshmen don't live there- they live at either Russell or they live in Dickenson or Rodney.

Yes, because declaring all white people to be racists = non-inflammatory.
Riiiiight.
