A Black and White Case?
At best, Weber State University’s
administrative system has not done right by Victoria Sethunya; at worst, Weber State
is guilty of extreme discrimination. Ms. Sethunya, who emigrated with her two
sons from South Africa,
was a semester away from completing her master’s degree in criminal justice
when she learned that, due to a computer glitch, she’d been dropped from all
her classes. And, while Sethunya wasn’t aware of her un-enrolled status until
two months after the glitch occurred, Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS) was alerted to it—thus
compromising Sethunya’s immigration status and her ability to remain in the United States.
After spending the semester trying to fix the problem—to no avail—Victoria
Sethunya is protesting with fliers accusing the University of discrimination.
