Update to this story.
Unsurprisingly, the NAACP is still on board.
Via Campus Reform:
The University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) released a statement notifying the media they have “indefinitely suspended” their sponsorship of the controversial Un-Fair Campaign, “pending a change in the campaign’s emphasis and creative approach.”
LI’s Campus Reform initially broke the story regarding the university’s sponsorship of the Un-Fair campaign in mid-June. Since then, the school has been the focus of national and foreign news media, resulting in thousands of phone calls and e-mails from individuals expressing discontent.
The statement, released by UMD on the eve of the 4th of July, conceded the campaign’s “recent public service announcement and its focus on white privilege are divisive and have alienated some UMD alumni, supporters and others in the broader community.”
