What exactly is the school supposed to do if there is a lack of minority enrollments?
Via Campus Reform:
Students have pledged to “shut down” the University of Michigan if enrollment numbers for minorities don’t increase soon.
“This is the new Jim Crow,” a group of student opined in The Michigan Daily, U-M’s student newspaper
The students, all part of Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), have decried the drop in minority enrollment at the university: 3.7 percent of the freshman class for 20-14-15 is black, 4.3 percent of freshman students are Latino, and 1.4 percent of freshman students are Native American.
The students, who claim to have been “inspired by the struggle in Ferguson,” held a three-hour “trial” last week to discuss alleged instances of Islamophobia, racism, sexism, and misogyny. The College Fix reports that approximately 30 people attended and less than half were students.
