 [Claremont Independent] After the Independent reported that event organizers segregated tonight’s pool party at Scripps College, barring white students from attending, the organizers changed their event’s description to allow all students regardless of race at the Claremont Colleges‐a consortium consisting of Scripps College, Pomona College, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont McKenna College, and Pitzer College‐to attend the pool party hosted at the college’s Sallie Tiernan Field House.
In a previous version of the Facebook event description, the organizers made it clear that the pool party was open only to students who identified as persons of color (POC):
"This event is only to 5C [Claremont Colleges] students identifying as POC.
