University of Michigan to boost racial diversity following social media outpouring

The Detroit Free Press reports:
The University of Michigan plans steps to boost racial diversity on campus, increase black enrollment and improve the school’s multicultural center, officials said.

Students living on campus in coming years will get training on tolerance and expectations for living in a racially diverse community, The Ann Arbor News reported. Last month, students raised concerns online using the Twitter hashtag “BBUM,” standing for “Being Black at UM.”
No word yet on whether University of Michigan faculty will get training on how to deal with libertarians, Christians, and registered Republicans they might face in the world outside of University of Michigan .
