Here’s a story in the Burlington Free Press about the curriculum at University of Vermont.
One element of the diversity strategy started coming into play last fall: a requirement that UVM undergraduates take designated “diversity” courses. Beginning with the next entering class, students will have to accumulate six “diversity” credits — two courses, typically — to graduate. The only other such universal requirement is two credits in physical education.
So, diversity counts more than composition, U.S. history, math, fine arts, and other general education categories. Students can take courses in two categories, “human and societal diversity” and “race and racism in the United States.”
