Penn State student gov plans to 'interrogate' members to check for 'internal biases'

According to an announcement posted to social media, the UPUA has “failed to effectively represent, advocate on the behalf of, and welcome BIPOC [black, indigenous people of color].” Therefore, the UPUA will “institutionalize a mandatory bias workshop as part of the candidate registration process” prior to every election. Students will not be eligible for the election until they complete the workshop.

In order to hold themselves “accountable to the highest standards of representation, advocacy, and anti-racism,” the UPUA is implementing other reforms, such as mandatory “anti-racism training” for all members.

This training will explore institutional racism, “interrogate” participants to check for "internal biases and prejudices," and help students become “stronger (anti-racist) allies to communities of color.” Students must complete this training by August 31.

They're really leaning into the "woke NKVD" aesthetic.
