Rice University mocked for ‘afrochemistry’ course on ‘inequities in chemistry and chemical education’
Rice University has been mocked in recent days for offering a course titled, "Afrochemistry: The Study of Black-Life Matter," that addresses "inequities in chemistry and chemical education."
The course, which is posted on the Rice University’s spring 2024 course schedule, is for undergraduate students and does include a final exam. Since being publicized on social media, critics have slammed the class for combining diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives with chemistry.
"Students will apply chemical tools and analysis to understand Black life in the U.S. and students will implement African American sensibilities to analyze chemistry. Diverse historical and contemporary scientists, intellectuals, and chemical discoveries will inform personal reflections and proposals for addressing inequities in chemistry and chemical education," the university wrote to describe the class.

Disappointing. I's gotta minor in chemistry and never noticed the potentially racist overtones of Pchem.

It would be epic if their band chose this as a theme for their usually mocking halftime performances.

What about inequities in black biology? That extra muscle is so unfair to crackers. :trollface:

It’s an easy way for struggling students to take a science class.

You can do this at almost every university. Even in STEM colleges. It’s gets way worse when you move in the humanities.

I need to see the professor who is teaching this course.
