Towson University president signs black students’ demands after 8-hour protest in his office

The interim president at Towson University in Maryland has reportedly signed a list of demands from a group of two dozen black students who occupied his office for eight hours on Wednesday.

Using the hashtag#OccupyTowson, the students listed 13 demands that focused on increasing black tenure-track faculty, requiring staff to take a cultural competency course and creating a no-tolerance policy on racial, sexual and homophobic epithets, The Baltimore Sun reported.

Interim President Timothy Chandler reviewed and revised the students' demands as they protested in his office for more than eight hours. Mr. Chandler agreed to sign his name on the document by 12:40 a.m. Thursday, The Sun reported.

The document reportedly cited instances of "egg shells and racial slurs being thrown out of windows; racial slurs being shouted at house parties; sexual and racial epithets from classroom professors."

Watch for any day now that they come after the crime "reality" shows like the First 48 for showing predominately Black on Black crimes.

As far as the Universities go, you know that they have been agitating for, aiding and abetting, and encouraging these tactics to be used upon others since the 1960's, don't you? Now that the tiger they reared to eat others has turned upon them and is eating them, they become concerned all of a sudden. Let them get a piece of the action and enjoy some of the fun. No sympathy or empathy from me.

I have to confess I didn’t get the turd swastika thing either.

requiring staff to take a cultural competency course

Sure, and we should also require all students to take a cultural competency course. It would include the writings of Jefferson, Madison, Plato and Aristotle as well as whatever leftist trash they want to include.

I hear you, the lib administrations made their beds and they can lay in them. Sadly it’s the taxpayers who are footing the bill and not just in the leftist lib states.

" sexual and racial epithets from classroom professors."

Yes, I bet the nation's colleges and universities are full of Nazis and Aryan Brotherhood types teaching classes. /s

This round of demands are remarkably similar to the demands of the University of Alabama, Governor George Wallace, and the Legislature of Alabama: segregation forever.

These people are demanding segregation. I guess it proves that if you live long enough, you will see everything circle around. I guess that if Lyndon Johnson, George Wallace, and the Democrats had offered free stuff from the beginning, we would still be a segregated country. That wouldn’t have been my choice, but the BlackLivesMatter crowd are clearly going in that direction.

Dean Vernon Wormer would not have agreed to their demands. A good dose of double secret probation is in order for the protestors.

What happens if you’re a prof and you refuse to “take a cultural competency course.”

LOL! I haven’t the slightest idea, you’d think they’d all be up to their liberal necks with that. :)

This is a planned event by outsiders as well as cooperation from insiders. Ferguson fail, baltimore fail and black lives matter fail is bringing us a new sit com. Stoking the fires wherever they can
