Caucasian students had the opportunity to go to the University of Vermont so they could explore white privilege.
The name of the three-day conference was “Examining White Privilege: A Retreat for Undergraduate Students Who Self-Identify as White.”
The retreat was sponsored by the university’s African, Latino, Asian, Native American and Bi/Multiracial Student Center – ALANA for short.
“It’s a new retreat specifically for white students to engage in building a stronger and inclusive campus community,” ALANA says on their website.
The university would not tell how the “free” retreat was payed for.
“it was a great opportunity to talk about an identity that I had not previously felt equipped to comfortably discuss,” said an unidentified person.
