The president of Western Washington University is under fire from conservative media for bluntly saying that WWU will have “failed as a university” if its faculty and student body “are as white in 10 years as we are today.” Bruce Shepard has incurred the wrath of the campusreform.org website, which Wednesday carried abusive tweets calling on Shepard to resign. The Washington Times ran a story under the provocative headline: ”University: Help, our campus is too white.” But Shepard argues his university is doing its public duty, adapting to a competitive environment and responding to the educational needs of an increasingly diverse population in Washington state.
