Title A name given to the resource The "Desegregation" Subject The topic of the resource The Diversity Controversy at GMU Description An account of the resource GMU was not as ethnically or culturally diverse as it has come to be. During the early 1970s, George Mason College had a very low representation of Black students and faculty. This led to an investigation into the college’s efforts toward diversity and inclusion. Recommendations were made to improve representation and provide better support systems. The report emphasized the need for the college to take more active steps toward inclusivity. The image shows an African American student out of very few at Winter Graduation on January 17, 1975.
