Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.
New York Times
George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

It’s [UD's] intellectual honesty that makes her blog required reading.

There's always something delightful and thought intriguing to be found at Margaret Soltan's no-holds-barred, firebrand tinged blog about university life.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

This will apply equally to the black fraternities and sororities, too? What about the numerous black student organizations? Or, for that matter, Hispanic, Asian, and other ethnic-related organizations that operate under a university’s umbrella? Women’s groups? I’m not sure that the good professors have quite thought through all of the implications.
As usual, in the end the lawyers will be the big winners.

And what about the universities themselves, which discriminate based on race in their very admissions policies?

This will apply equally to the black fraternities and sororities, too?
Of course. I believe historically black fraternities and sororities have been accepting students of all races for decades now. And at every university I’ve attended or worked for, students of all races could join the Black Student Union, La Raza, etc.

@Dr_Doctorstein: at my graduate school, back in the palaeozoic era, not only did the BSM not have any non-black members, it was demanding a stand-alone, de-facto-segregated building for its own use. The admin realized how bad it would look and tried to persuade the leadership to accept a “multicultural center,” but the admin eventually caved.
@J. Remarque: Yes, it is laughable how virtually all institutions answer “No” to all of the questions concerning discrimination on Questions 5b-d on Schedule E of IRS form 990, while quite obviously doing the opposite in practice.
