On Racial Sensitivity Training for College Freshmen: A Survey of Institutional Opinions and Practices.
Nesbitt, Leroy, Jr.; And Others
Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, n3 p77-79 Spr 1994
Nine educators comment on the issue of programs meant to increase racial sensitivity among college freshmen. It can be argued that these programs increase racial tolerance, but some suggest that they may heighten students' awareness of racial differences and actually foster racial separatism. Others merely doubt the utility of the approach. (SLD)
