After Knowles ‘ conversation last month, the U. Buffalo scholar state passed a resolution which disallowed college student groups to be associated with “outside businesses” — which directly affected the Young America’s Foundation.
Interestingly, the resolution offered exemptions for certain groups — , such as those in the” Academic, Engineering, or Sports Councils”, and organizations “whose sole purpose is to engage in inter-collegiate competition”.
On its website, the UB Dept. Additionally, the organization of media study takes itself for having an excessive number of white faculty members, followed by an extensive” Action Plan for Diversity” ( Action Plan for Diversity ).
It also offers a “land acknowledgement” noting the department “operates ]on ] the territory of the Seneca Nation”, and that it is “grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and share ideas in this territory”.
