Campus Guidance After Affirmative Action

Dear Campus Community,

As we continue to weigh the impacts of the SCOTUS decision to end the affirmative action practice which allowed race to be considered as a factor in college admissions, we have heard the need for more clarification about the effects of the decision on other programs, classes, and groups outside of admissions. In a recent interview, President Richardson, warned against the tendency to “overinterpret” the ruling as having to stop any efforts which create a sense of belonging for marginalized communities. We would like to amplify that message across campus.
We encourage you to read the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights Dear Colleague Letter on Race and School Programming. This letter is a guide for schools on what constitutes a lawful program to promote racially inclusive communities and clarifies the circumstances under which schools can – consistent with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – develop curricula and programs or engage in activities that promote racially inclusive school communities.
Of particular importance is to know that the SCOTUS ruling is specific to college admissions and does not preclude us from providing affinity spaces, support, education, and resources that are tailored to marginalized racial and ethnic groups. In fact, the guidance states, in many cases, we are obligated to create these programs to address adverse impacts or hostile environments. It has always been the case that any program which receives federal funding, including student clubs and organizations, must be open to anyone. This does not mean, nor has it ever, that these groups cannot focus their time, name, resources, or activities on a specific identity or culturally relevant guiding principles.
We know that many questions will continue to surface around this topic, and we will provide updates as necessary to ensure everyone is well informed. For the time being, we encourage you to visit CC’s affirmative action webpage for more information and frequently asked questions.
In solidarity,

Rosalie Rodriguez

Crown Center Fall Programing

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Educational development opportunities abound on the Colorado College campus. To honor our collective, important, and ongoing pedagogical work, the Crown Center for Teaching will work to highlight gatherings, workshops, and discussions of interest to our faculty, staff, and students.

Please visit the “Educational Development” page on the Crown Center website to view this robust (and growing) set of “Crown Affiliate Events” taking place this fall semester.  There you can also inform us of any opportunities organized by your department or program that we can share out to the broader campus.

One such upcoming example is Care in the Academy, taking place at the FAC next Wednesday, September 12th and co-sponsored by our colleagues in History & Feminist and Gender Studies.

Please do not hesitate to reach out about anything teaching related at any point in time!

Sincerely,

Ryan

Location: Packard Hall

Sign up for an audition time

About the show:

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter, one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.

Performance Dates:  Nov. 10-11, 7p.m.; Nov. 12, 3p.m. in Packard Concert Hall
Rehearsal Schedule:  TBD
Please prepare:  A 1.5-minute song or excerpt of a song that showcases your singing and storytelling abilities. Bring sheet music in the correct key, double-sided and in a 3-ring binder. Our music director will be playing piano for the auditions.
