#TheChalkening apparently struck fear into the modern snowflakes that we call college students:

At a public meeting last week, the Academic Senate voted to require students entering the university in 2018 to take one class each in “non-Western culture” and “U.S. minority culture.” Currently students must take one course that satisfies either of those categories.

The estimated size of 2018’s freshman class is 7,400 students, according to the proposal by the university’s Committee on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) that passed the senate.
