Opinions about Social Action Groups

Questions

In the survey we asked members of social action groups to answer a series of questions concerning the nature of the types of groups themselves. These are the questions along with students' responses to them. Notice how varied their opinions are!

Question 1

- There are many groups on Dickinson campus dedicated to issues of race and few that deal with gender/sexuality. There are no groups that deal specifically with issues of class. How do you feel about the lack of diversity within Dickinson’s social action groups?

Question 2

- Would you support a social action group dedicated to issues of class and/or classism? Why or why not?

Question 3

- Why do you think there are so many groups dedicated to racial issues? What types of groups would you like to see more or fewer of? Why?
