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.
Ridiculous
Where are the so-called college officials? These assholes cannot always get their way by threatening to do things. Arrest them.
Put them in jail,when their demands are met, let them out. dont plan on getting out anytime soon snowflakes.
Let them all congregate in one building, warn them and then bulldoze it to the ground. Arrest any who run out and build a new building in its place dedicated to serious students of any color who choose to attend.
Excell them all!
What happened to kick their asses out of the School? Oh wait, this is the all accepting, anything goes California.
Send in the national guards to clean up the trash permanently
take over all the buildings and shut the college down…who cares???
Expell them arrest them let them get an education in prison
Univ. of California Santa Cruz administrators should seal all entrances from Kerr Hall…No food, no nothing…after three days they are NOT released from prison, until they pay for the damage they did to the hall and be expelled from the university. Justice served.
