Hundreds of students, faculty and staff members, flooded Ithaca College’s academic quad Wednesday afternoon protesting I.C. President Tom Rochon and his handling of racial incidents on campus and in solidarity with campuses including University of Missouri and Yale University.
Urging a vote of no confidence, protesters gathered following a month of racial tensions sparked by a number of incidents occurring since the start of the academic year. At approximately 1 p.m., students began to gather. Within 30 minutes, hundreds of students had flooded Ithaca College’s Academic Quad.
A number of students spoke against the administration, naming Rochon the leader and perpetuator of “a broken system†that pretends that I.C. is diverse.
“We have no desire to work with this broken system,†a student said into the microphone.
Following student speeches, the crowd of protesters walked across the quad, guided by student leaders and shouting, “Tom Rochon. No Confidence.â€
After students spread and laid down on the wet pavement, they fell silent for 20 minutes at 2 p.m. The eerie silence was broken at 2:20 p.m. as hundreds streamed back towards Freedom Rock in front of the student center.
“We have power,†students chanted, in a roar that filled the quad.
Students also circulated papers titled “The Case Against Tom Rochon,†which list seven grievances against him, ranging from “his disregard for minority community members†to “his questionable ethics.â€
“When asked to propose solutions, Rochon fails as a former scholar to conduct even the most basic research by drawing on eight years of reports and recommendations that involved countless hours of work by students, faculty and staff, or by accessing the many demands that have been addressed to him and gone unanswered,†the paper reads.
TS beat me to the ping, BLL.
Please ping me if you have any local scoop on this.
Another college with a losing football team!
That’s right. Most Universities and colleges are run by white racist administrators, staff and professors. They need to all be terminated from their employment immediately.
If there was a Loon Hall of Fame, it would be located at Ithaca College.
Two such colleges come to mind: Hillsdale College (http://www.hillsdale.edu/) and Patrick Henry College (http://phc.edu/). I give regularly to both.
It is not "their own destruction" that worries me.
Berkeley and UCLA need to get on board and start firing white people!!
Just leave bio, comp sci, engineering and biz alone...
Most STEM students don’t have time for this stuff.
I feel like I’m living through the 1960s again.

If it’s broken then it needs more money.......raise tuition!!
Good grief.
And I thought South Parks episode on Safe Place was being sarcastic. They could have gotten their script from those whiny complaints
You'll have some company.
Meant Safe Space
Most of these “racial incidents” are invented and fabricated by the so-called victims themselves.
I don’t think the thug tactics will fly at Ithaca.
Too many VERY privileged white families send their kids to that school.
aye, I would like to build and expand that
More recruitment for obama’s red guard.
McGruff.....I think the black lives matter is as much behind this...a cross over of sorts...just posted some photos.
