Dr. Golden recently sent out a communication to staff last month that listed categories of individuals that she determined were “privileged.” In her “monthly diversity digest” letter sent to staff, Dr. Golden stated, “Privilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it. People in dominant groups often believe they have earned the privileges they enjoy or that everyone could have access to these privileges if only they worked to earn them.” She went on to provide a list including White people, Able-bodied people, Heterosexuals, Cisgender people, Males, and Christians as possessing “privilege.” Eerily reminiscent of claims made in the mid-20th century in Germany, this list included a religious group, among others.
