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.
This is getting insane. Take over a college & you want to meet their demands? They are the students they do not run the college. If they do not like the accommodations find another college.
If they don’t want to leave send in the National Guard & stop these whiners from demanding anything.
Outrageous.
What would help solve some of this bull$#%&!@*would be for ALL white students leave this school. So let them take over the buildings there won’t be money to pay for repairs anymore or their stupid demands.
Hook them altogether and see how they can take care of each other
send them all back to their ancestral land in north west africa. problem solved.
Go learn something, that is the only right you have in school assholes.
Simple solution stop all funding to the school and strip all of any grants they receive ! Let their buildings become rat infested empty along with them
I remember the 70s, when the blacks occupied buildings on my campus. They were arrested and hauled off in cattle trucks. How fitting. Needs to be done again.
Send in swat
Bomb the building.
