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.
Kick their nasty$#%&!@*out!! Damn!
Just the start huh?? Couldn’t you see this coming?I did!
Hood rats
How about diversity training for these black anarchists.
Maybe the blacks can pay for their own university. No one group has a say over the rest of the students , OR HAVE THE RIGHT to hold any part of the campus hostage. Not people or buildings . They should be expelled forthwith…
What is wrong with the Dean’s of these colleges? They should have been hauled out even if the police had to use pepper spray. They would do that to any other color student especially those of us of the lighter persuaion. Don’t care if I sound racist this is crazy that this would even be happening when most of these students doing these kinds of things are on grants paying these students way through school
“30 days in the hole”. Ha ha
They would get arrested
Round them up and throw them out into the city and let them fend for themselves. Don’t let them back into your school. Remove all federal money from the school for catering to racism.
Go ahead
