Yale University racial controversies

That mildest of rebukes to the campus culture of political correctness and intolerance of differing views prompted student demands that Nicholas and Erika Christakis resign.

“Three, an increase of $2 million to the current annual operational budget for each cultural center”, said Ponce Diaz, who also noted the centers must include 5 full-time staffers in each center and additional emergency and miscellaneous funds from the Provost’s office.

The Daily Mail published a story Saturday-along with a video-about a confrontation between Silliman College Master Nicholas Cristakis and a student who cursed at him and told him he “should step down” because of the advice he had given students about Halloween costumes.

The group also called for the adoption of “zero-tolerance policies for bigotry perpetrated by Greek organizations by adopting a council responsible for investigating discriminatory issues”. “This conversation left me deeply troubled, and has caused me to realize that we must act to create at Yale greater inclusion, healing, mutual respect, and understanding”. Nationwide, students of color face institutional oppression along with lack of social justice and awareness. During that time, they continued speaking and chanting, despite various drivers honking their horns.

Leaders of the protest yelled “No Justice!” and the crowd in turn responded “No Peace!”

Someone posted Lukianoff’s joke about how Yale students were comically overreacting to speech they disagreed with on Facebook. The push by these students has already resulted in the university’s president, Timothy M. Wolfe, announcing his resignation.

Insisting how ‘racial intolerance should never be accepted, the SAE released a statement insisting how its Yale chapter ‘is comprised of a diverse group of brothers and the event, likewise, was attended by a diverse group of students’. A student reported hearing a member of the fraternity say “white girls only“.

The students demand inclusiveness in relation to race, ethnicity, and gender identity from the university administrators since a faculty member allegedly denied the request of the Intercultural Affairs Committee for students to avoid wearing racially offensive costumes for Halloween.

Reports have been released showing the breakdown of student and faculty diversity on the Yale campus. Erika Christakis, who is an administrator at a residence hall wrote.

Every Halloween, colleges across the country grapple with what to do when students wear offensive costumes on Halloween.

Students at the University of Missouri voiced concern recently about the high amount of racist slurs heard throughout campus and racist displays created by students, according to The Washington Post. “‘You’re going to have to carry me out, ‘ the student said”. We don’t get to feel pain. And then they turned on the media which had been churning out their propaganda with more bullying and crying. College freshman Chris Harrison said, “It’s sort of important to know that you don’t have to go out and do this alone”. Another protester, College freshman David Bakali said, “Whenever our freedom is challenged it seems that no action is taken at all, and I feel that that’s absolutely ridiculous”. You know, these are things that are very public right now that have happened and have really brought to a head the ways-the ways in which more broadly and more systemically Yale is just not safe for people of color. But student activists accused the Christakises of undermining students of color, claimed to be losing sleep and suffering mental breakdowns over the subject, and bristled at the couple’s unwillingness to simply give in and apologize. The man eventually got past the protesters by driving on the sidewalk. (Her email suggested that culturally insensitive costumes should be allowed because they spark healthy, intellectual dialogue).

Bigger than Halloween: Over the weekend, Yale senior Aaron Lewis published an article on Medium arguing that the firestorm over the Silliman masters and Halloween attire was just the tip of the iceberg at the school.
