Cornell University Accused Of Modern Day Racial Segregation For Banning White Students

After massive backlash online and on local levels, Cornell University rock-climbing course has now been opened to all students of every race after complaints of modern-day racial segregation were reported.

The “BIPOC” course at the Ivy League university in New York was initially only available and tailored to students who were “Black, Indigenous, or represented other people of color groups.”

It was only after the university experienced backlash after only banning White students from the course forcing the university to lift enrollment restrictions.

The rock-climbing course has been described “to be designed to enable Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian or other people of color underrepresented in the sport of rock-climbing to learn the sport and to feel included and supported,” a course description reads. “The class is open to all Cornell students interested in rock climbing with this special focus.”

John Carberry, a university spokesman, said the class remains tailored for underrepresented groups.

“We encourage any student who is interested to take advantage of the unique opportunities across campus to learn from and with the many diverse perspectives and voices across campus,” Carberry said in a statement to the Daily Sun.

“Woke” Students interviewed by the paper seemed strangely supportive of the class, believing that the act of segregation is actually not racist at all, and it is what White people “deserve.” Some said that anyone complaining about the class taking away from “White peers” is “laughable and frustrating.”

“Hearing people complain about this class, saying it’s taking away from our White peers, is laughable and frustrating,” student Thomas Gambra told the paper.

Meanwhile, course instructors have received guidance on how to discuss with students the criticism the initial course offering received.
