Faculty wants “dedicated study space” for Black students only, plus enforced “unconscious bias” training.
Issuing the ultimate woke wishlist, The Faculty Association at California State university has demanded that all “Black Native, and Indigenous students” should be given free tuition as a “redress for systemic anti-Black racism in the CSU.”
The CFA has also charged that “the historical and longstanding infrastructures of universities” should be dismantled because they are “fundamentally grounded in a white supremacist colonial discourse and culture.”
Campus Reform reports that the CFA also wants to overturn the ban on affirmative action, and is arguing that “racial pay equity” needs to be implemented because “workload is also higher for Black faculty given that CSU faculty are majority-white, and CSU students are majority of color resulting in ‘cultural taxation.’”
Without providing corroborating evidence, the faculty also claims that research conducted by Black students is “often not valued at the same level as other faculty.”
A further demand outlines that there be “Black faculty available to serve as reviewers for Black faculty candidates,” so as to counter “white supremacy”, as well as “dedicated study space” for Black students only.
The faculty also demands an expansion of curriculum for Ethnic Studies, creating Black Student/Resource Centers, and enforcing “unconscious bias” training for all students.
In addition, the faculty urges support for initiatives toward “the full abolition of the police,” claiming that Black, Native, and Indigenous students can “not rely on police for safety,” and that law enforcement has “racist roots” enhancing “the dehumanization of Black people.”
For good measure, the woke demand list also includes a petition for protection of the Black LGBTQIA+ community.
The CFA’s statement says that it “recognize[s] that the movement for queer and trans liberation was catalyzed by uprisings led by QTPOC (queer and trans people of color), often against police violence.”
It concludes that students should continue “building on a radical and beautiful legacy of resistance.”
This is indicative of demands from woke student groups across the nation. For example, at UCLA, a Professor was recently placed on leave and subject to threats of violence after he rejected requests to allow black students to take final exams at a later date, purely because of the colour of their skin.
Other reports from elsewhere in the country have indicated that black students are demanding they be given leniency, or just better grades, to combat ‘systemic racism
Shut down the public universities and rebuild them from scratch.
Let the lefty professors beg for food on street-corners.
Why would anyone want an education grounded in white supremacy, even if it were for free?
Faculty wants “dedicated study space” for Black students only,
Sounds like segregation to me.
So a segregated study space?
I think the Ivy League schools should reserve half the seats for African Americans, and give them all scholarships. It is the least these schools could do to make up for racism.
Fine, reduce the “professors” salaries for each free class they teach.
Sounds good. Of course, I assume the Woke Faculty will be teaching for free. Wouldn’t want to sully their SJW credentials by taking filthy American dollars.
The crazy grows every day.
I can only imagine that the support for these crazy people diminishes every day. It’s not like they are making any sort of persuasive argument. They just spew hatred and demand more, more, more.
It’s tiresome. And I’m sure most people won’t say it, but I think Normal people are sick of it.
I really don’t know at this point if the left is using Cloward-Piven or Dunning-Kruger to advance their cause...
It goes along with the existing segregated housing. http://www.calstatela.edu/housing/themed-living-communities
Keep on pandering to them...keep on giving them what they are demanding.... keep on giving them what you think will quench their thirst. . and you will have created a monster... one who’s thirst can not be quenched...
you in charge.. are just plain idiots... you don’t have a clue on what works... and what doesn’t..
Black Native, and Indigenous students” should be given free tuition as a “redress for systemic anti-Black racism in the CSU and it shall be paid for through a Separate TAX on the Incomes, Tips, Wages and ASSETS of ALL Public Employee’s in the State.
Of course.
One of the great paradoxes of our time is that so-called “academics” are often the most narrow-minded, ideological, and stupid people you will ever meet.
Racism is alive and well in America.
“Fine, reduce the “professors” salaries for each free class they teach.”
I like that idea. Tuition money comes from somewhere. Make it come from staff salaries. Nothing is “free”. “Free” always has a cost somewhere.
If you were born here aren't you "Indigenous"?
What about free beer?
Free drugs?
Free food?
Free... cell phones?
Free cars?
Free love?
Free...money, tacos, cable tv, .... stamps....
Why stop? Demand more, shoot for the stars!
Gibsmedat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alive and well?
No, it’s on a ROLL!
Wow, the absurdity of all this is mind boggling.
