Students at JHU’s medical campus voice support for nationwide protests against

The University of Missouri Police Department chose to add fuel to the already spreading fire by asking students to contact them immediately if they hear any “hateful” or “hurtful” speech. A graduate student also went on a week-long hunger strike.

What the aggrieved students at the University of Missouri apparently want is what their counterparts across the country at Yale College, one of the country’s elite institutions, also want: the ability to hold themselves apart for special treatment on the basis of their minority status, while at the same time claiming they’re being discriminated against.

Binghamton University students told WBNG they are feeling inspired to start up the conversation about racial tension on campus.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Students at Boston College raise their arms during a solidarity demonstration on the school’s campus, Thursday, November 12, 2015, in Newton, Mass. The protest was among numerous campus actions around the country following the racially charged strife at the University of Missouri.

Students say they learn better from instructors who seem to understand them and their experiences.

“At 1:30 p.m. we will be walking out for all the injustices students of color face on this campus and other colleges nationally”.

“We must act to create at Yale greater inclusion, healing, mutual respect, and understanding”, Salovey wrote to the university community about racial tensions Salovey said the students made suggestions, a few of which would be implemented before Thanksgiving break, The Courant reported.

Rebecca Steinitz ’86, the letter’s lead author, said that mainstream media portrayals of the student movement as childish are unfair, noting that for the most part, students are protesting a very problematic situation quite civilly.

Then, about two weeks ago, a black undergraduate accused a fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, of denying her entrance to a “white girls only” party on the basis of her race, an allegation the fraternity denies.

The student group “Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk” presented the senate with a list of diversity demands following the events at the University of Missouri, but they say the senate did not “stand in solidarity with their black peers”.

Response to growing social and racial unrest is coming quickly at the University of Missouri.

“I wasn’t as aware of it before because I wasn’t a marginalized student”, Sroor said. The university system’s first Black leader was the late Elson Floyd, who was in charge from 2003 to 2007. This demand at least has a tangible, implementable solution; reducing stereotypical attitudes, harassment on campus and discriminatory actions, however, will take substantially more commitment, time and creativity. “It’s just what’s happening in the national news”, frustrated senior Cornelius Baker told USA Today about the Town Hall, noting the issues being discussed at Kansas are hardly new. He needed to be removed from campus because he wasn’t supporting black students’ right to a safe campus climate and his presidency wasn’t ameliorating the pressing issues on the campus.

Dr. Cross’s cynical but witty reply: “We want to build a university our football team can be proud of”.

Steinitz, a former resident of Silliman, said she does not think Nicholas and Erika Christakis should be removed from their respective positions as master and associate master, but that they should step down since they will not be able to unify the college community effectively. This time, they did not do it. The young ones who are supposed to represent the new generation of Americans were the ones flying the flag of racial hatred on campus.

“That’s why we need to be more of the campus that we are”, Karbhari said. “So they’re bringing back the white-out, which they did in 2007 against KU”. In order to do this, postsecondary institutions must change at a structural level.

Wolfe selectively ignored Butler and the other activists of Concerned Student 1950, making it perfectly clear that he doesn’t believe black lives matter; he doesn’t even believe all lives matter. Make race and ethnic studies courses mandatory for all students.

If the university really wanted to show its students they care, they would have included more in the process. Otherwise, things will get worse.
