1) Greek life - what do the segregated greek organizations say about desegregation as a whole? Maybe interview the small percentage of black students involved in the Panhellenic and IFC Greek organizations.
2) Do organizations that are completely segregated perpetuate the isolation of racial groups from one another? (ex: NABJ)
3) What does the one multi-cultural class credit requirement say about UGA's prioritization of student's understanding of different backgrounds?
4) Is UGA's coverage of the 50th anniversary of desegregation thorough? Is the university over-glorifying the end of something that might still exist?
5) Do people from different backgrounds mix outside of the classroom? Maybe evaluate downtown and the proportions of black students and white students present compared to the proportion of black students and white students at the university as a whole.
6) What does this anniversary mean for the student body as a whole? Will it serve as a reminder to increase cultural tolerance and awareness?
7) Look at the attendance at the desegregation anniversary events. Are the students mainly black, white, both? Why?
8) Conduct a survey on how many students are actually aware about the events going on and who actually plans to attend them? Separate the students in terms of age, race, gender, etc.
9) Does the emphasis on the status of the relationship between black students and white students place other important ethnic minority groups on the back-burner?
10) Write a general opinion piece/editorial on whether or not the university is really "desegregated."
11) Do a study of the number of black students attending the university since desegregation. Has the number increased, decreased, stayed the same? Why or why not?
12) Write a basic coverage piece of one of the discussion panels being held to gain a sense of opinion from professionals in the field.
