Paxson claimed that the social justice courses \u2014 which were introduced in the 2018-19 school year \u2014 have reached a majority of the students at Brown. In 2018-19 alone, there were 211 DIAP courses offered across 37 different departments.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As part of its continuing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, Brown announced a slew of new DIAP classes, including an upcoming summer class which infuses social justice curriculum into public health curriculum. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.precollege.brown.edu\/catalog\/course.php?course_code=CEPC0912\"><span>course<\/span><\/a><span> is titled, \u201cWe\u2019re All Breathing the Same Air: How Power and Privilege Impact Public Health.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The description claims that the class is suited for students who \u201ccare about social justice and are ready to deepen their understanding of how systems of privilege and oppression impact global health.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The course is described as an intersection between social justice and public health. Students will examine how triggers such as \u201cimplicit bias\u201d and \u201cmicroaggressions\u201d contribute to public health.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSystems of power and privilege impact us all. Join us in taking a social scientist\u2019s lens to the ever-woven threats of racism, sexism, ableism, heterosexism, and classism to understand their massive impact on global health and individual implicit biases,\u201d the course description reads. \u201cA public health perspective will be applied to lessons about implicit bias, discrimination, microaggressions, minority stress, cultural humility, and much more.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Students will also focus on acquiring \u201ccritical knowledge about how vulnerable and marginalized populations are negatively impacted by both systemic oppression and unconscious bias.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The description emphasizes the importance of \u201ccultural humility\u201d in the classroom. Cultural humility is described as \u201can attitude and way of being in and responding to the world that encourages individuals to not elevate their own world view over others.\u201d It is unlikely that \u201ccultural humility\u201d would apply to those who hold a conservative worldview.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Though the course is about diversity and inclusion, it is being taught by two white women. The class will be led by research fellows Kelsey Kangos and Michelle Haikalis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Brown\u2019s DIAP is expanding beyond the classroom and into the admissions process as well. In the diversity plan, the Office of Admissions announced that it would reserve half of the school\u2019s enrollment for black applicants only.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe Office of College Admissions will implement a plan to increase the representation of Black\/African American applicants in the Early Decision and Regular Decision pools, and increase the undergraduate Regular Decision yield for Black\/African American identified students to 50% of the enrolled class.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The DIAP also aims to help \u201cHistorically Underrepresented Groups,\u201d also known as \u201cHUGs,\u201d though it does not include people of Asian or Middle Eastern descent. According to Brown, HUGs are defined as \u201cAfrican American\/Black, Hispanic\/Latinx, American Indian\/Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian\/Other Pacific Islander.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
