This included the creation of a Committee to Diversify Locust Walk, which consisted of then Vice Provost for University Life Kim Morrison, as well as a number of trustees, administrators, faculty, and students. The Committee delivered a report in September of 1991 that represented the culmination of its philosophy towards making Locust Walk a more diverse setting. The Committee then began to solicit opinions from the Penn community both on and off campus, from undergraduate and graduate students, professional students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The report neglected to mention the fierce anti-Greek sentiment that was present as well. It is quite an ironic twist that, despite all the outrage about racism and bigotry in fraternities, Psi Upsilon, the most racially integrated fraternity on Locust Walk at that time, was kicked out of the Castle in 1990.
Nobody likes being told what to do.
I would rather try to convince them to do it voluntarily. Not only did the Committee suggest that the University station watchdogs in Greek houses, but it also proposed to dictate whom the residents of the house may invite to their parties. It's an opportunity for discrimination, but I don't know if it would be intended. While fighting discrimination is indeed a worthy cause, when the Committee's main weapon is University-mandated discrimination against the fraternities' freedom of association, victory becomes meaningless. The reason why the anti-Greek proponents of diversity on Locust Walk feel justified in pushing more and more University control on fraternity houses is because of their central campus location.
