- General Information
- In the fallout resulting from a racist Snapchat incident, university president Dean Bresciani was pressured to implement a plan to "improve campus climate". As of now, the school has first hired a consultant to "ensure that NDSU is being consistent with all the best national [equity] practices". The president has also created a task force to develop diversity and inclusion initiatives. He has also mandated "diversity and cultural competency training" for all students and opened a review of the Student Code of Conduct. It is unclear whether the mandated "diversity and cultural competency training" contains elements of C.R.T. See developments below:
