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.
Shut the damn places down !!!!!
They’ll be feeling pretty funny when SERT teams light em up and take them down.
We have some jail cells that you are more than welcome to take over
They should have been locked in and guards put at the door, no food, utilities cut then sent home or deported to another country.
…perfect state for it to happen…
THEY ALL NEED TO BE KICKED THE HELL OUT OF SCHOOL AND SEE WHAT THEIR DEMANDS ARE THEN … WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE… IGNORANT ASSES
I demand someone needs to beat your ass
That’s what they get for caving in to their demands. Should have followed the republican stance in past dealings with terrorist to never negotiate with them.
Their not learning nothing..Trust me…have you ever had a conversation with a college kid..they couldn’t even tell you who the vice president is…
Time to ship them back to Africa show them how much they have to be thankful for. It seems funny how they complained about equal rights until Obama gave them a little power now they show who they really r. I have Irish blood in me my ancestors might have been slaves noone owes me anything
