Other colleges work to diversify their campuses
By Rebecca Holub | May 24, 2000Dartmouth is not the only institution that has struggled to improve diversity on its campus. This issue has been ongoing at other colleges and universities -- and many of the College's peer institutions have already implemented plans to promote cultural understanding on their campuses. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Brown universities and Williams College all have versions of multicultural offices, while Cornell University and Amherst College have recently created campus-wide programming aimed at promoting cultural awareness and tolerance. Alex Willingham, director of the multicultural center at Williams, said the existence of diverse cultures centers is very important to the "big challenge" of diversity and tolerance on college campuses.
