We need to self-facilitate in terms of the jokes we make about certain backgrounds. It was not presented because it would have been major objected to because it violates the Rochdale principle of open membership. Also, OSCA might not have open membership now. Now we need to decide what our priority and purposes are. Let's clarify what are particular OSCA problems that we can change, what are campus that we can do nothing about, and what are campus problems that we can help solve.
Coops run well and consensus is easy with a homogeneous population.
We cannot and should not force POC to join coops if they don't want to. Maybe we don't need diversity because POC just don't want to be in coops. We need to get people to realize that we have the power to change OSCA and our co-ops. It is not that POC and low-income folks don't want to join. They often do join, and then they leave because they are made to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, and that's a problem.
