RACIST: Pomona College Professor Seeks To Enroll Students In Class Based On Race

A professor of geology at Pomona College in Claremont, California sent an email to the student body advertising a course on earthquakes in Southern California. However, Professor Linda Reinen said that she is preferring students of color request her low-enrollment course. According to The Claremont Independent, here is what she said:

I encourage students who PERM this course to indicate how their background, experience, and/or interests could contribute to diversifying perspectives in the course. In resolving PERMs I will strive to identify students for whom the small-section setting has the potential to be of particular benefit. I am especially interested in seeing PERM requests from students of color, first generation or low-income students, international, and students early in their college career (first two years); such students are especially encouraged to apply.
