This year, the Gettysburg College Political Science Department began offering a new class, designed to enlighten and educate the students of Gettysburg College on the history of race, diversity, and political theory. One would expect to find it filled with students of various races, genders, and religious backgrounds, right? Well, think again! Of the 16 students in the classroom, 9 of them are white males.
However, as one student pointed out “at least it’s more diverse than the Constitutional Convention.”
Diversity is a key element here at Gettysburg College, as demonstrated by the large quantity of lacrosse and baseball New Jerseyans. The school made great strides over the past years to try and increase the level of diversity by admitting more students, only to then remove off-campus housing. Ah, Gettysburg College, the place where every boy looks like they just spent five hours at the gym, and every sorority girl spends their spring break on the beaches of South Florida. The irony stings as one wanders and views the campus located on the site of one of our nation’s most famous battles and now educates the next generation of “finance bros”.
