Brown University bans caste discrimination throughout campus in a first for the Ivy League | CNN

Brown University now explicitly prohibits discrimination on the basis of caste, joining a number of US colleges and universities in shoring up such protections

Brown University now explicitly prohibits discrimination on the basis of caste, joining a number of US colleges and universities in shoring up protections against an ill-understood, insidious form of oppression. The university’s governing body voted this fall to add caste as a protected characteristic to its nondiscrimination policy, alongside categories such as race, religion, sex and gender identity.

US tech companies, which employ a high concentration of South Asian workers, have grappled with issues of caste in recent years, and caste-oppressed students at US colleges and universities have previously told CNN that they have faced slurs, microaggressions and social exclusion on campus because of their caste identities. Those outside South Asian communities often don’t understand how these dynamics operate, given that they unfold within members of the same racial and ethnic group.
