In a scene reminiscent of the turbulent 1960’s, a black student group at the University of California Santa Cruz successfully occupied the main campus building until its demands were met by the school administration.
The African/Black Student Alliance updated its approach, calling the building takeover a “reclamation,” and issuing demands for immediate response while threatening additional demands.
For three days the group occupied Kerr Hall until Chancellor George Blumenthal agreed to their demands. As a result, all black and Caribbean-identified students now have a four-year housing guarantee to live in the Rosa Parks African American Themed House. The building’s lounge will be reopened, the exterior will be painted in “Pan-Afrikan” colors of red, green and black, and all UC Santa Cruz incoming students will be forced to undergo mandatory diversity competency training.
Find out what further demands the group has and the university’s rationale for giving in on the next page.
Give them an inch…they take a mile
Shoot em
You gave them an inch, now they are demanding a mile. Grow up and take back what you gave or resign and get someone in there that can. This is classic tail wagging dog.
Close the college and start over. Obviously those in charge have no clue. That me take acredidation and funding
so we are going back to the days of no blacks allowed this should be fun
This is a public university that means tax payor dollars. Can they be sued
Ultimately It is always about money, and how they can get it without working.
low life very poor parenting
As long as we continue to allow certain groups to take over our colleges,they will not stop!! This kind of foolishness has to stop!!
Just arrest their asses. What they are doing is criminal.
