Apparently UVM Isn't Liberal Enough

Post by Bubba »

UVM students led by student diversity organizations presented a list of demands to UVM administration Monday, citing racial injustice on multiple levels at the University.

The list, addressed to President Tom Sullivan and University administration, was posted to Facebook and later presented in person to Gary Derr, vice president for executive operations Monday.

These demands were written by sophomore Harmony Edosomwan, president of the Black Student Union, with input from the BSU and Alianza Latinx. The list explains what the BSU, Alianza and Asian Student Union view as racial injustice at UVM, Edosomwan said.

UVM’s administration was given a deadline to respond to demands by 9 a.m. Tuesday, or the marchers will return to the building at 10 a.m. in a continued protest, Edosomwan said.
All UVM administration, faculty, and staff must have mandatory diversity training encompassing race, equity, religion, sexuality, and gender identities.
We demand for the hire and retention of black and brown faculty on tenure.
We demand for the renovation of D1 and D2 classes.
We demand that qualified professors teach such courses.
We demand that hate crimes on/off campus be treated as such, named as such, and that perpetrators of these crimes be expelled.
We demand that fraternities and sororities have a new mandatory racial diversity/inclusion/climate/equity training requirement for all incoming and standing members.
We demand that Jake Reichhelm is to be expelled for his hate crime.
We demand that ALANA clubs and identity centers be put higher in the University’s funding priorities.
We demand that UVM creates a separate donation fund for ALANA clubs.
We demand that the George Perkins building be renamed.
Good stuff.
