Reed College to revise Western Civ class after protests call it too ‘Caucasoid' and ‘Eurocentric'

Reed College leaders have agreed to revise a mandatory freshman humanities course focused on the Western Canon in the wake of a protracted student protest campaign against the class that decried it as too 'Caucasoid' and 'Eurocentric.'
Although details are still being hashed out, faculty appear to have agreed to broaden the scope of the course to allow for more authors of color and to study thinkers from geographic locations beyond Europe.
The course had traditionally focused on scholars underpinning Western Civilization, and assigned books written by Greco-Roman thinkers such as Aristotle, Plato and Ovid, as well as from Mesopotamia and Egypt.
But for more than a year 'Humanities 110' has been the target of protests by a student group called 'Reedies Against Racism,' who demanded it be 'reformed to represent the voices of people of color.' In statements to The College Fix over the last year, student protesters have called the class too 'Caucasoid' and 'Eurocentric.'
'I am a student of color who has trouble focusing because the curriculum at Reed is Eurocentric and is unrelated to my lived experience. Being told that the West is the most important topic of study damages my mental health and makes me less able to learn. I think this is true for many, many students of color, and that is part of why we do what we do,' Alex Boyd, a main Reedies Against Racism organizer, told The College Fix last September.
