Web posts prompt site reassessment

In response to a number of questionable comments posted on the Shades of Princeton website that make light of discrimination, the site's student founders might overhaul or scrap the online forum.While it is an independent website, the University has addressed its concerns to the founders and "at this point we do not anticipate it will be up or supported by the University this fall," Vice President for Campus Life Janet Dickerson said.Founded by several members of Sustained Dialogue ? a campus group that promotes discussion of social and racial issues ? the website was launched in April as a forum for students to share incidents of discrimination.According to Brian Kirk '06, a Sustained Dialogue director and one of the website's founders, the initial posts adhered to the forum's mission, but many of the later comments were "prejudicial and ignorant.""I never expected the length that some students would go to to subvert our cause.
