[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As others have said, avoid STA at all costs. It is not a healthy place for students of color. The school only recently allowed black students to form a BSU. This was also when the school permitted a white student group to form.[/quote]

This is both blatantly false and lacks context. STA had no affinity groups until recent years. When they changed that policy, there was immediately a BSU. Your characterization is misleading and inflammatory by suggesting racism as the reason for no BSU. [/quote]
Is there currently an affinity group for white students?[/quote]

Yes, every other non-affinity group. [/quote]
We know that, but sounds like a poster was claiming there was a "whites only” affinity group at STA earlier in this thread.[/quote]

It’s not a “claim,” it’s a fact. There is a "whites only” affinity group at STA.[/quote]

Is this true? I thought all affinity groups allowed anyone to join that was interested? Does it actually say "whites only?" Honestly the STA parent community has become more and more conservative each year or maybe it is just a small very vocal influential group. [/quote]
