Vermont College Mandates Seminar on Privilege and Inequality

Middlebury College in Vermont is requiring all first-year students to take a course covering topics like inclusivity, identity, privilege, and inequality.

The social justice-focused seminar is the product of JusTalks, a student group founded at Middlebury in 2011 in order to “create a space where all students could engage with issues of identity, power, and privilege,” according to a May 2 press release.

During the for-credit seminar, students will discuss subjective experiences of “power, privilege, identity, and inequality.” A keynote speaker and “organized time for reflection later in the week” will supplement the seminar.
