Students at Oklahoma University have taken to Twitter to share what they are describing as incidents of discrimination and harassment and draw attention to the university’s failed efforts to promote diversity and inclusion. Using the hashtag #yOUrbad, students have been sharing stories about microagressions they face, the hostile climate on campus for People of Color, and other such violations of the norms of inclusion and tolerance. “I think (OU President David Boren) is only pleased to be recognized for a goal that the university has yet to attain,” she said. Among them:Transphobia:Same prof consistently used gender as example of dichotomous variable b/c "it's easy, there's only two options." #yOUrbad — Lena Tenney (@Lena10E) September 7, 2016Otherization:When undocumented folx are called "illegal aliens" in lecture, its easy to understand their otherization in the university #yOUrbad — champagnepupi (@wtftsanch) September 6, 2016
