This is utter bullshit. Segregation means forcing Blacks to drink from "colored only" fountains. When NYU students raise the idea of having separate housing, it might be the result of the sort of shit they've had to put up with. Unsurprisingly, the only other news coverage about this "segregation" baloney comes from the biggest purveyor of white supremacy in the USA: https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyu-group-demands-black-only-student-housing

After Black Student Is Kept Out of Class Discussion, NYU School Acknowledges ‘Institutional Racism’
By Emma Pettit

Shahem Mclaurin, a black graduate student at New York U.’s Silver School of Social Work, said he had already spoken with an administrator about the racism he’d faced, with no action taken.

While traveling abroad this week, a black graduate student at New York University says he was told by a classmate that a class discussion was easier to facilitate without a “black presence” in the room. Now administrators at NYU’s Silver School of Social Work have acknowledged that it has a problem with “ongoing institutional racism,” especially in the classroom.
