Freedom cuts both ways. When i came to east lansing, for a job in michigan state university, in 1966, black people could not buy a house within city limits. That ended the year after i arrived. Dormitories were not segregated on campus. But when black students were given the option of choosing their own dorm, a black dormitory was formed which they opted for. Many said they were more comfortable living in a black student environment rather than with whites.

Briefly
Re- "In 2022, however, I was told that the "Critical Black Studies" students would live and learn separately, creating a fully "black space." My "Anti-Oppressive Studies" students were separated from them. Instead of participating in a summer community of 32 high-school students, my group was to be a community of 12 (that would dwindle to nine by the time of the mutiny)."
An expert on group psychology would probably say that this was surely the dangerous moment of separation, departure unto an apartheid-type segregation during which the other group's identity must have festered, probably nurtured - unopposed by the Black Power group…
