In August, UA athletes joined the millions who marched in protest of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor's deaths, capturing national media attention. But if nothing much has changed since then, what exactly were they marching for?

‘Much to be done’: How Caitlyn McTier and DEI are trying to make up for lost time

Vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion is a fairly new position in the Student Government Association. Its current occupant, Caitlyn McTier, knows SGA is far from perfect. But she won't let that stop her from giving the job her best shot.

Whether they're being left out of the student newspaper or dealing with microaggressions from their neighbors, students in Alpha Kappa Alpha and Alpha Phi Alpha say being Black and Greek at the University brings on a whole new world of frustrations.

How some UA alums are working for greater diversity in student media

Rachel Parker, Contributing Writer • December 2, 2020
As only the second Black editor-in-chief of The Crimson White, Victor Luckerson learned right away how difficult it could be to work in a predominately white newsroom. Now Luckerson and other student media alums are working to alleviate that pressure for current students.

The ‘Final Barrier’ still stands strong

In 2013, The Crimson White published a story about segregation within the UA Panhellenic system. Greek organizations at the University have since been forced to integrate, but demographics among those organizations remain homogeneously white.
