College Students In Providence Rally In Solidarity With U. Of Missouri

“I don’t blame white people who don’t understand (racial inequality)”, Middleton said.

“Character-wise, experience-wise, compassionate-wise, leadership-wise, he’s the right person”, said Alden, now a faculty member who specializes in educational leadership. Loftin will transition into a new role on campus in January.

On Monday, University of Missouri Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin and University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe resigned. It was not clear if the alleged threat was also inspired by the turmoil at the University of Missouri-Columbia. “It’s more to do with him overseeing the way his staff are dealing and operating with the issues”, said Tristina Allen, a 21-year-old international-studies major at the school.

When asked why, Park said, “I don’t know”.

Cherryl B. Schrader, chancellor at the Missouri University of Science and Technology, said in a statement that threats of violence of any sort aren’t permitted.

Another threatening post also cropped up over Yik Yak.

According to NBCNews, Middleton has quite a history with the University.

Making a terroristic threat is an offense that is punishable up to seven years in prison. He has made his first court appearance and was denied bond.

Wolfe’s replacement on an interim basis, Mike Middleton was named on Thursday.

Middleton had served as deputy chancellor at the school before retiring last summer.

Young said increased diversity should be an immediate goal, but he wasn’t sure how the university could get there without campus-wide conversation.

Stottlemyre’s threats were also on Yik Yak, a Northwest Missouri State spokesman said.

The march, often referred to as #MillionStudentMarch across social media platforms, began at the Memorial Union and continued throughout the rest of the campus with the protesters expressing their demands. He was arrested Wednesday in his dormitory.

A 19-year-old student at the University of Missouri system’s Rolla campus is accused of posting threats against black students and faculty on the Columbia campus.

Quickly, the school announced Wolfe’s resignation as well as several changes created to make the university more inclusive, peaceful and cohesive. Police were reviewing video surveillance from the area.

Providence College has dealt with its own racial tensions.

Mizzou Student Government President Payton Head, a gay Black man, took to Facebook back on September 12 to lash out against what he observed as racist and anti-gay occurrences on campus grounds. He will be arraigned later Thursday.

While Yik Yak purports to be anonymous, it reserves the right to share certain information with law enforcement agencies investigating possible criminal activity.

Boone County’s chief sheriff’s deputy, Maj. Park, a student at a sister campus in the town of Rolla, threatened to shoot Black people.

Students at more than 20 colleges are planning solidarity demonstrations this week, including at Harvard, Columbia and Syracuse universities.

BSU posted a request on social media for students to wear all black and join them in a walkout at 3 p.m. Thursday.
