An annual event known as the Day of Absence/Day of Presence at The Evergreen State College in Olympia has been canceled, college officials say.

Evergreen is expanding our campus discussions on issues of race and inclusion via many events throughout the academic year, college spokesman Zach Powers said in a statement provided to The Olympian. The mischaracterization of Day of Absence last spring has led us to consider different and expanded ways to have these essential conversations, which continue among students, staff and faculty. The title is no longer in use, but the deep commitment to expanding inclusion remains.


Bwahahahahaha

Is this the one where students demanded white people not come to campus and actively threatened/harassed the ones who did?

As someone who grew up in Washington and lived in Olympia for 5 years, evergreen state isn't a real school and greeners are terrible.

Greeners (students of evergreen) are like, a Portland hipster, mixed with a homeless person, with a heavy sprinkling of hippie in there as well. Then they have this sense of entitlement and daddy's credit card to buy whatever they need.

In other words, the state was going to pull its funding. So out went all of Evergreens progressive ideas, and in came survival mode.
