Harvard’s Kennedy School Adds Privilege-Checking to New-Student Orientation

Harvard’s Kennedy School Adds Privilege-Checking to New-Student Orientation - The Cut:
The wonks in training at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government will soon be subjected to a new and touchy-feely line of inquiry:
Checking Your Privilege 101. 
In response to growing demand from student activists, administrators committed Friday to adding a class in power and privilege to its orientation program for incoming first-year students.
“We’re at one of the most powerful institutions in the world, yet we never critically examine power and privilege and what it means to have access to this power,” says Reetu Mody, a first-year masters student in public policy and a campus activist.
“We’re excited to have the administration on board for training all Harvard Kennedy School first years.”
