26Bernat (2015) has a less positive view about these NSF pre-conference meetings at Snowbird. While he met some people at these workshops from other minority serving institutions, UTEP had little contact with the other schools outside these workshops. He also questions whether the rubbing shoulders at Snowbird led to substantial majority-minority collaborations. In summary, he stated, “There’s no question that the MIIs were the poor peasants. … I assume that some schools thought, ‘Well, this is the sort of thing NSF has to do, but the money could be spent better elsewhere’. You could certainly look at these as sort of an affirmative action program. Lots of people don’t like affirmative action programs. I wouldn’t say there was much building of community.”
