This text from pages 91-97 is something that SOAD should be concerned with. Bloom outlines in very interesting ways the new direction in which the American higher educational institution that we are faced with today-one that he describes as lacking the same values of scholarship that it once did in its initiation.
In pages 91-97 he outlines how race has informed how universities and the students within them interact with students of color. Of course this means Affirmative action, black studies and things of the like are mentioned.
SOAD should be concerned with this excerpt because it informs our significance on New School's campus. It helps us understand and complexify why we should exist? and why are group like us is relevant today. Take a look.
