Head of West Chester Univ. to apologize for segregation in the school’s past
Posted: February 18, 2008
West Chester University will be celebrating its 11th annual Civility Day on Wednesday, Feb 20, and the outgoing president will cap the day by acknowledging racist policies of the university's past, with a group of black alumni present to speak about their experiences at West Chester.
"It's an expression of regret and an expression of celebration," said Dr. Madeleine Wing Adler, WCU president since 1992. Adler, who will retire in June, will speak in ballroom C of Sykes Student Union at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, where she will be joined by about 25 black alumni, all of whom graduated during or before the 1960s.
Black women were not allowed to live in WCU dormitories until 1943, and black men were not allowed to live on campus until a later date, Adler said in an example of the university's segregated past.
Civility Day is a yearly event at WCU in which students and faculty participate in discussions and activities centered on a given topic - this year's theme is "Go Green: Strategies for Global Civility." The day kicks off with an environmentally themed photojournalism exhibition in Sykes at 9:00 a.m. Sykes Student Union is located at 110 West Rosedale Avenue.
