The Evergreen State College is a public liberal arts college in Olympia, Washington. Founded in 1967, it offers a non-traditional undergraduate curriculum in which students have the option to design their own study towards a degree or follow a pre-determined path of study. Full-time students can enroll in interdisciplinary academic programs, in addition to stand-alone classes. Programs typically offer students the opportunity to study several disciplines in a coordinated manner. Faculty write substantive narrative evaluations of students' work in place of issuing grades.
Evergreen was one of many alternative colleges and programs launched in the 1960s and 1970s, often described as experiments.[1]
Woke
Woke? Highly.[2] In 2017, the university decided to replace a "day of absence", promoting non-whites, with a day of banning white people from campus. A professor, Bret Weinstein, resigned after coming into conflict with the student body after he disagreed with this policy[3] Weinstein was labeled a white supremacist, and protests broke out across the school.[4] After resigning, Weinstein and his wife sued for $3.8 million, ultimately receiving a judgement for $500,000. Weinstein later founded the Dark Horse Podcast.
Because of the unrest, Evergreen went from 3900 students in 2016 to 1950 in 2022 losing 50% of their enrollment, where 99% of applicants are admitted.[5]
| Benjamin Boyce, a former student, made a 23-part documentary "The Complete Evergreen Story," documenting its "melt down, thanks to the applications of critical race theory on campus." |
