The University of Nevada, Las Vegas now offers eight separate homes for minority students, women and LGBT people.
According to a report by The College Fix, the UNLV now offers eight separate living quarters for minority students. The university refers to isolated residences as "thematic communities".
Earlier this year the university praised a building on the Howell City campus, named after the first black landowner in the area named, with separate floors for those on their identity based students.
Howell Town is the new campus community. The residences also have all-women apartments, healthy living and LGBTQ + students, as well as apartments for members of Honors College and Harrah College of Hospitality. In the first half of the year, Howell Town attracted 30 residents, mostly doctoral students and transfer students.
UNLV officials say their school is the second most diverse in the country. To defend this title, they feel obliged to provide students with separate spaces to "explore" their diversity.
"It became clear that there is a desire and a need for special spaces to explore identity in a meaningful way," said an UNLV official.
"Howell Town offers its strength by celebrating and exploring diversity rather than diversity or the presence of differences," he added. "These resources and the connection between them are essential components of the students' success."
Breitbart News reported in May that at least 75 American universities held a separate graduation party for black students. Many other institutions offer separate graduation parties for Latin American, disabled and LGBT student communities.
"We really wanted to have the opportunity to give voice to the Harvard non-violent, " a Harvard official said in 2017. "So many students identify with the African diaspora, but they do not necessarily feel welcome." within the community in general. and what a gift, I think their stories are shared.
