Incoming first-year students for Duke University’s class of 2022 will not have the opportunity to choose their roommate after the school decided students were choosing roommates with “very similar backgrounds to their own.”
“In the last few years, we’ve seen increasing numbers of students who have pre-selected roommates, often with very similar backgrounds to their own,” an announcement letter reads. “While this may make the transition to college seem somewhat easier, we’ve also seen that this can work against your having the best educational and social experience in the long term.”

The private college I attended in the 1990s did this same thing. They wanted to encourage diversity. I ended up as an 18 year old Freshman in a room with a 20 year old African (literally from Africa) and he was a flagrant homosexual. It was a terrible experience. I survived. But I was very tempted to quit school and go the next year to another school.
Oh Yes inserting a square peg into a circular hole always works out just fine.Tards with conservatives, gays with straight, thugs with altar boys, gender confused with normal What could go wrong.
In the 90’s I observed Jan Conway (wife of Norn Conway), principal of Glen Ave. Elementary school personally rearranging the seating of black and white children during lunch on many occasions. The same principal that tolerated attempted sexual assaults from a black child in second grade. The same child eventually physically attacked and beat a mentor that was pregnant. Again, minimal punishment.
Her limited engagement speaks for itself. It was appalling and disgusting.
