They count any non white student as a person of color

Shouldn't schools be colorblind? Don't academics play a role in admissions?

Dude, it's part of a survey questionnaire he set up. It all comes from him.
Sure, and all those people cheering when he said they would be a failure if they were still this white in a year are staunch opponents of his views but scared of physical retaliation if they don't appear supportive.

I first read this article at 3PM it had about 40 comments. When I got home at 5:45 it had almost five hundred. There are people calling that school and sending hateful email.
I'm afraid that school president done did it. Let him reap the rewards of his guilty white ass.

I think he should be let go. I don't have a problem saying what he did but he lost a lot of support, which a university President needs; plus, he has embarrassed the University in a major way.

Yeah, but the context warrants a dismissal. There is freedom of speech and then there is hate speech from a public official.

I don't even think it was hate speech, he was being a fool and worded it stunningly bad, to the point of being insulting. Still, regardless of that he ought to be fired because what he said was deeply embarrassing, divisive, and I'm sure he has lost a lot of support. Those are things people should care about, not necessarily the idiotic statement itself.

There is no right way to word that, man. He wants less white people on campus. Whether that means he admits people based on their minority status or forces whites to drop out.
That is the core of the multicultural movement. It all boils down to less white people. His salary is paid with federal and state taxes. He should be fired and publicly pissed on. That wasn't carelessness. That was pure racism.

I read from his little explanation that he wants to ensure a steady supply of students which will require recruiting minorities and such as demographics shift. If the school is as "white" as it is today then that would say those efforts failed and the school has shrunk or failed to grow. I think that's fair enough but I agree completely it couldn't have been delivered in a worse way and I found his manner of trying to communicate that downright offensive.
Still, I'm not too worked up the man just needs to resign because he can't effectively lead the school anymore.

The core of the problem is that affirmative action awards someone based on their racial makeup. That is racism. How do you think it would have gone over if the President at Grambling said: "We have failed if we are this black a year from now?"
Instead of enrolling students who have shown exceptional coursework, he equates success to enrolling more people of color...Those are spots that will not be filled by people who have excelled. That's phucked up. College universities are supposed to be places where people gain knowledge and life experience. Where hard work is rewarded. Not a place for social justice. There is not another side of the coin here. I hope they can his ass. I'd piss on his head.

I didn't feel he implicated any affirmative action argument. Still, I'm completely against any forms of affirmative action because I believe they are counterproductive.

Dude, they were bragging about how they hired minorities and women. He praised his staff for being proactive. That means they are actively admitting and hiring based on gender and race....not merit and achievement. That should be illegal.

RE: “How do we make sure that in future years ‘we are not as white as we are today?’”
If he would have just said -"We are going to actively recruit minorities because the demographics of the nation are changing, and we want that growing population to view our school as a destination." - I wouldn't have much issue with it. As it stands, he has only succeeded in appearing an embarrassing fool. Wonder if the university trustees are pleased? How about alumni - bet that'll pump up donations - not.

I may not agree fully w/ your former position, but your latter statement is a point of commonality. There are several reasons this guy should be fired, including being divisive and losing support.
