It is also open to those of any race who are first-generation college students. Other students can take the course, which is a requirement for education majors, but during a different period. <\/p>\n<p>University officials say the restricted class offers minority students &#8220;a much safer and open environment&#8221; in which to discuss issues of race, gender and class. But some students say the course represents a disturbing throwback to the days of &#8220;separate but equal&#8221; education.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College restricts course section to minorities By Valerie Richardson THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published August 3, 2004 DENVER &#8212; Students at the University of Colorado at Boulder can take the popular &#8220;School and Society&#8221; course&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[141],"tags":[127,213],"class_list":["post-5312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-clips","tag-affirmative-action-and-diversity","tag-education"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p89tuq-1nG","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/News-Clips.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5312"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5312\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7085,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5312\/revisions\/7085"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
