The Lee Hall Controversy and
The MOSIAC Theme Housing
Lee Hall
 During the 125th

anniversary of Virginia
Tech, students in a history
class came across a page in
the 1896 Bugle listing Lee
as a leader in the campus
chapter of the KKK.
 After a thorough
investigation in 1997, it was
determined that there was
the potential that the
organization was a hoax
and that the hall name
would not be changed.
MOSAIC Theme
 MOSAIC was developed at the recommendation of the

Commission on Equal Opportunity and Diversity to
address questions about the namesake of Lee Hall in
2004 and as a result of student requests for a diversityfocused housing community.
MOSAIC Theme
 Multicultural

Interest
Community (MOSAIC)
MOSAIC Theme
 Started in fall 2007
 30% of Virginia Tech’s 9,125

on-campus residents live
in a theme housing
community.
 Currently being

restructured and is not
available for participation
during the 2011-2012
academic year.
Slusher Hall
 "The Tree Lounge."

Slusher Tower contains
the Multicultural
Opportunity Social
Awareness Interest
Community (MOSAIC)
themed-housing
community, an
intercultural living
environment that
embraces all types of
diversity.
Why theme housing?
 These communities

combine interest-related
activities and academic
course work with a
residential environment
to make it easier for
students to connect with
faculty members, work
together in groups, and
integrate learning with
extracurricular
experiences.
Why Theme Housing?
 Higher cumulative GPA
 Low drop out rate

 High rate of class

attendance
 More interactions with
peers and professors
“MOSAIC is yet another vehicle for the university to
demonstrate its commitment to educating the whole
person. This program will demonstrate Virginia Tech’s
intention to operationalize its Principles of Community
in real time, with real resources and with real
results, producing cross-culturally competent leaders
and supporters of equity and inclusion in the
workplace, in our institutions and in our communities.”
Benjamin Dixon, Vice President for Multicultural Affairs.

DIVERSITY PLANS
VT’S DIVERSITY PLAN
 To enhance the the quality of life of individuals and

families across the life span by creating and
maintaining a body of student, faculty, and staff
which reflects the cultural diversity of the state of
Virginia and the national population
 To create opportunities for intellectual
stimulation that are derived from an appreciation of
multiple perspectives that are brought to the center
and are allowed to flourish within a diverse
community of students, faculty, and staff
 To build an infrastructure that promotes the full

participation of all groups in the decision-making
processes across the curriculum and administrative
affairs of the college
 To foster a supportive forum which channels and
rewards internal and external collaborative initiatives
and partnerships that recognize interlocking
systems of oppression and privilege, in our
teaching, research and outreach agendas.
UVA’S DIVERSITY PLAN
 The university promotes an inclusive and

welcoming environment that embraces the full
spectrum of human attributes, perspectives, and
disciplines. When people of different backgrounds
come together, they exchange ideas, question
assumptions, and broaden the horizons for us all.
A UVA community rich in diversity affords every
member equal respect – and provides a forum for
understanding our differences as well as our
commonalities.
