Student Strike at Haverford College Stretches Into a Second Week
Legal Insurrection ^ | 11/10/2020 | Mike LaChance

Senior administrators at Haverford College put their own jobs on the line in an effort to address concerns of racial inequities at the college and end a strike led by students of color, which has stretched into a second week.

During a tense listening session via Zoom with Black student organizers and an audience of nearly 300 students and faculty members on Nov. 5, one student using a pseudonym asked President Wendy Raymond to resign “if effective change does not occur” to support students of color, who say they have been treated inequitably for decades. Raymond and other college leaders agreed that if adequate progress is not made, it would be appropriate for them to leave.

It’s cute that anyone takes this seriously. Expel them all. It’s pretty simple.

Students of color started a boycott of classes

Back when I went to school, the remedy to that was called "getting a zero".

and campus jobs

Meh, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find others to fill them.

First B. Hussein Obama ended the era of racial unrest in America. Post racial society we have today is thanks to him.

Now Biden with one sweeping proclamation is “bringing America together again.” More heroics.

How did we get so lucky as to have the public vote for these two in high numbers? /S

How about: they strike, you dismiss them and then fill those seats with people who want to learn things.

Their professors put them up to this stuff and then pretend they are forced to discriminate against Whites.

You should to hesitant to judge these students too quickly. Black students regularly get admitted into schools/programs for they are marginally qualified. That's the nature of affirmative action.

Students who then encounter difficulty in meeting standards are not going to blame themselves, but rather attribute it to racism or whatever.

Affirmative action has been a cancer on higher education and done a disservice to everyone it was designed to aid.

who say they have been treated inequitably for decades

*************

I went to a large public university that was uncaring, indifferent, unconcerned, unfeeling, and unsympathetic. It was great preparation for the real world. LOL

That is exactly how I see it and why I said what I did. It’s time to purge unqualified students, regardless of race.

Ever read “The Bell Curve”? It got a lot of flack, but in retrospect it is acknowledged as being pretty spot on.

There is a reason most pro ball players are black, and most top mathemeticians are Jewish. And I’m neither.

Fact is, different races have different strengths.

“support students of color, who say they have been treated inequitably for decades.”

If you have been a student there for decades you are obviously doing something wrong......maybe you should consider listening to your professors and attending class rather than boycotting the education for which someone is paying dearly

What inequities? Is it because the local pizzeria didn’t have the toppings they wanted?
