University of Colorado Chancellor Phil DiStefano, while speaking at a diversity seminar with CU regents on Wednesday, made comments that may make national headlines.
Sarah Kuta, of Boulder’s Daily Camera newspaper, was there to live-tweet the entire meeting and provided the bombshell quote from DiStefano for the world of social media to see. DiStefano, while sharing a story told to him by an African American member of the athletic department, revealed that some black athletes at CU refer to the Dal Ward Athletic Center as, “The Plantation.”
The comments made by DiStefano are certainly controversial.
