Higher education institutions have been negligent in their diversity missions and have spaces that perpetuate racism rather than provide opportunities to look for its cure. Without interrogating race, racism, and antiracism on their campuses, colleges and universities continue to produce graduates who perpetuate racism. We must take a…
