While attending a predominately white college, minority students can sometimes feel marginalized in the classroom.
Michigan State University's student population is 18.1 percent people of color, according to MSU Facts. An 18.1 percentage of people of color student population is similar to the percentage of people of color at both Ohio State University and University of Michigan, according to demographic reports found of the colleges websites
Students at MSU are reporting their experiences and demanding that the university accommodates for them. A system set in place to deal with racial disparity on campus is the Michigan State University’s Office of Student Affairs and Services, Office of the Vice President. They released data and information regarding diversity and inclusion, last academic school year, regarding racial disparities. The data and information was accompanied with a commitment to the progression of diversity and inclusion at the university.
The efforts of this office, though commendable have not abolished the disparities spaced faced by students of minority groups at MSU.
