As part of ongoing initiatives to strengthen its commitment to inclusion, diversity and equity, the college has announced a number of steps it is taking to reduce the likelihood of bias-related incidents. The initiatives, particularly those relating to campus policing, were informed by recommendations of the ACLU, which now hopes to share Smith’s new policies with other campuses. |
Claire Haug ’20, contributor to The New York Times newsletter, "The Edit," gets the word out about a new Gen Z-focused project that explores what it means to be part of this growing demographic. She writes, “I feel there is a genuine contradiction between the way that our generation experiences identity and the way identity is portrayed.” |
