The Project
Students divided into three groups who explored the legacy of controversial basketball coach Bob Huggins, race on campus, queer history on campus, and campus’ iconic Crosley Tower. Blogs were released as two part series. You can explore all the blogs at once, or follow the series in progression.
Bob Huggins | “From Final Four to Forced Resignation” (Part I) | “Drunk, Aggressive, and Loud” (Part II)
Race on Campus | “Who is Charles McMicken?” (Part I) | “The ‘Race’ to Inclusion on Campus” (Part II)
Queer History | “Out and About” (Part I) | “The Gay 90s” (Part II)
Crosley Tower | “An Engineer’s Dream” (Part I) | “An Engineer’s Dream Gone Wrong” (Part II)
