Via Campus Reform:
A group of student activists at the University of Missouri (Mizzou) sent a second list of demands to university administrators Wednesday, accusing them of working with state legislators to “uphold white supremacy.”
“While the university is working to garner the support of individuals working to uphold white supremacy, marginalized students on campus are still suffering and issues of how to combat racism have been put on backburner. We will remain committed to ensuring our demands are met by any means necessary,”the list of demands states.
The new list, issued by an activist group known as Concerned Student 1950 (CS 1950), is part of an effort to renew the original list of demands the group issued in October after several racial incidents occurred on Mizzou’s campus, including one incident in which members of the Legion of Black Collegians were called the “n word.” In a another incident, a swastika was allegedly drawn in human feces on a bathroom wall.
The new list begins by stating that the eight original demands should not be taken as suggestions, but are “obligatory to addressing and dismantling institutional racism on our campus.”
