The University Of Chicago Lab School located in the Hyde Park neighborhood, is a private co-ed school affiliated with the University of Chicago. Recently named one of the top five STEM Schools in the nation, the elite private school has a black student population of about 9% with a little over 19% of the students identifying as multiracial. On Thursday, January 16th, members of The Black Students Association read an open letter at their recent Martin Luther King assembly. The students outlined five areas of consideration for the University including reconsideration of the curriculum, more diverse faculty and students and comprehensive diversity training. This comes after a recent incident where a student posted a racist meme on social media.
