Ryerson students gather in solidarity with Mizzou, Yale

R. Bowen Loftin’s written transition deal, which the AP requested under Missouri’s open records law, shows he also will get $50,000 in deferred compensation in January, as well as yearly stipends of $10,000 to $35,000 from the university administrator to whom he now will report. This individual, who typically has a Ph.D. or J.D., and a strong background in diversity and inclusion, “provides leadership on diversity-related issues at a senior level”, said Reese, who is also vice president of the Office for Institutional Equity at Duke University. In a letter endorsed by almost 300 students, they wrote: “Fear of our fellow students’ rage silenced us”.

Their actions seem to have hit the mark.

Reverend Jesse Jackson has praised the University of Missouri Football team for (peacefully) taking matters in their own hands regarding threats made to people of color on their campus. Black students were a small minority on campus and we were often seen as interlopers, even after admission. Organizers on the call directed students to their website for resources to aid in developing a protest and informed them of the national demands, which include divestment from prisons, investment in communities and free tuition for Black and indigenous students.

For decades, students have helped drive social change in America, if not the world.

“JCSU encourages our students to be socially conscious; just last week an on-campus vigil was held in solidarity with UM students”, Wright said.

I completely stand behind the idea of equality and the right to be heard, as there are millions of issues blacks face in this country every day. “A protest goes viral in no time flat. This was not how it was 20 or 30 years ago”.

With clarity, strength, and full voice, RPH fully and unequivocally supports all of the demands of Concerned Student 1950 be met immediately with university amendment and enforcement.

“Even though he’s only here for a year, this is a stepping stone”, she said.

I remember talking with a multicultural center director for Mizzou. But the movement’s victory speaks to larger objectives, namely retaliation against slurs levied earlier in the semester against black Missouri Students’ Association president Payton Head and, on a separate occasion, a group of black students rehearsing for a school play. Hilbrenner said Park has withdrawn from college. I don’t know them or who they represent, and no one listed as a member has ever approached me to find out a single thing about Kean.

A particular professor who has skyrocketed into infamy as a result of her hostility outdoing the rest of her peers, was a communication professor at the university, Melissa Click, who indicated to other protestors that she needed “some muscle over here” to have Missouri student journalist Mark Schierbecker removed and launch her into a horde of venomous trolls and plummet her into disgrace.

“The tactical dynamism of these nonviolent protests and the public criticism of them are in important ways reminiscent of the 1960s”, Cohen said. “Today’s protests, like those in the ’60s, are memorable because they have been effective in pushing for change and sparking dialogue as well as polarization”.

Although the targets of these protests are the blatant and subtle forms of racism and inequity that affect the students’ lives, the message of the protests resonates with the recent incidents of intolerance and racial inequity on the streets of America.

A chief diversity officer’s work “really engages all of the ways students, staff, and faculty are different”, ranging from sexual orientation to cultural background to language to religion to gender, Reese said.

“It represents all our viewpoints”, Thompson said.
