Cornell charges students $1,800 for racially-segregated rock climbing class, frantically scrubs website when confronted
Campus Reform | February 18, 202 1 | Matthew WilsonA Cornell University course titled “BIPOC Rock Climbing,” was originally restricted to “people who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, or other people of color.”
When Campus Reform contacted the school, Cornell officials edited the course description to remove the race-based enrollment restriction.
The course’s original description, noting the class’s race-based enrollment restriction, is still visible, courtesy of an internet archive.
When asked for comment, John Carberry, Cornell’s Senior Director of Media Relations and News, issued a statement to Campus Reform claiming that “all Cornell students” are “welcome” to enroll in the course, contradicting the original course description.
What’s the use? I thought walls don’t work.
Wait, you can only climb the same color rocks as your skin color? Is that it?
Ra-schist!
I have my masters degree in rock climbing, yet I can’t seem to be able to find a job in my chosen field. I wonder why?
Get the PhD. That will be sure to do it.
“That’s DOCTOR Unemployable, thank you very much.”
It’s a nefarious plot to train soldiers for a secret invasion of Rock Ridge…
