A rock-climbing course at an Ivy League university in New York state has now been opened to all students after critics complained about racial segregation, according to a report.
The so-called “BIPOC” course at Cornell University was initially available only to students who were Black, Indigenous or represented other “people of color” groups, the Cornell Daily Sun reported.
But media reports portraying the course as banning White students – as well as complaints posted on Reddit — prompted the university to lift enrollment restrictions, the report said.
The rock-climbing course “is designed to enable Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian or other people of color underrepresented in the sport of rock-climbing to learn the sport and to feel included and supported,” a course description reads. “The class is open to all Cornell students interested in rock climbing with this special focus.”
