Members Of Georgetown Minority Mentorship Program Resign, Claiming Racism

At Georgetown University, a decades-long program that was supposed to help students of color has been accused of racism.

The College Fix reported that every current member of Georgetown’s Patrick Healy Fellowship program resigned recently, claiming the program was rife with “racism, queerphobia, sexism, classism.” The resignations occurred in early November, with those leaving the program writing a resignation letter posted to Instagram that alleged numerous grievances, beginning with the claim that senior fellows’ concerns were “repeatedly dismissed or met with false claims to change the organization.” The fellows also alleged that “Junior fellows were made to question the power and importance of their activism, and felt that they had to downplay their various experiences whether that be as an international student, Black woman, low-income student, survivor, etc.”
