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.
