RE: The Campus Protest Master Thread

Quote:The University of Vermont held a three-day retreat so students who “self-identify as white” could confront their own “white privilege.”
“Examining White Privilege: A Retreat for Undergraduate Students Who Self-Identify as White” took place last weekend, November 13-15, and was “specifically for white students.”
“How does whiteness impact you?”
According to the university, the self-identifying white students who attend the retreat will come to “recognize and understand white privilege from an individual experience” and have the opportunity to “conceptualize and articulate whiteness from a personal and systematic lense as well as the impact of white privilege on the UVM community and beyond.”
The self-identifying white students also tackled tough questions such as “What does it mean to be white?” and “How does whiteness impact you?”
The university website features testimonials from past attendees of the retreat, who praised the way the event was a “safe space.”
According to the school’s website, the University of Vermont offered the retreat at no cost to its privileged white students, covering all expenses including meals. The retreat was hosted at the Common Ground Family Center in Starksboro, Vermont. The center advertises its use of solar power and “green construction projects” on its website, and offers its services for everything from family reunions to civil unions.
The University of Vermont does host a retreat for “women of color” as well but it focuses on building leadership rather than confronting one’s own privileges. Aside from the women of color retreat, the university does not appear to offer similar race-specific retreats.
Additionally, the university’s Center for Cultural Pluralism recommends various readings for its students, including "The Invention of the White Race," "White Privilege, Male Privilege in Race, Class, Gender," "The Feminist Classroom," and "The Abolition of Whiteness."
Campus Reform previously reported on a similar conference held at Mount St. Mary’s Los Angeles, which was also specifically intended to help white students confront their privilege.
The University of Vermont did not respond to Campus Reform’s request for comment.

RE: The Campus Protest Master Thread
Harvard Professor Tears Crybaby Students A New One:
Quote:Famous Harvard professor rips into 'tyrannical' student protesters, saying they want 'superficial diversity'
High-profile incidents of racial discrimination at the University of Missouri have spurred students across the US to protest racism on their own campuses.
And while many civil libertarians have lauded the students' actions, Alan Dershowitz, a prominent Harvard Law School professor, has ripped into these students for what he argues are hypocritical demands.
"The last thing these students want is diversity," Dershowitz told Business Insider.
"They may want superficial diversity, because for them diversity is a code word for 'more of us.' They don't want more conservatives, they don't want more white students, they don't want more heterosexuals."
Dershowitz, a leading proponent of civil liberties and a defense attorney who advised on the O.J. Simpson murder trial and numerous other celebrity cases, was commenting on what he calls a dangerous trend of "tyrannical students" on college campuses.
At numerous schools — including the University of Missouri and Yale University — students have protested racism on campus and called for the resignation of administration members who they say are creating a dangerous environment. And at Amherst College, students have threatened to respond in a "radical manner" if their demands are not met.
At Mizzou, Tim Wolfe stepped down as president after months of tension on campus. Students there have now demanded a more inclusive campus and to see black faculty grow to 15% within 10 years.
But Dershowitz counters that students don't want actual diversity on campus.
"I think the most important thing to point out is the double standard and the hypocrisy," Dershowitz said. "These are students who want safe spaces for themselves but not for others. They're prepared to spit on people going out of lectures."
Dershowitz is referring an incident after a free-speech conference at Yale earlier this month in which several attendees were spat on and called racist, people who went to the conference told the Yale Daily News. One minority student who attended the conference told the YDN he was called a traitor.
Further, Dershowitz, who is Jewish, argues that he has been the victim of anti-Semitism and hateful language on campus by the very students who intend to remove all harmful language from campus.
When he spoke at the City College of New York (CUNY), he said, he was met with shouts of "Zionists out of CUNY." At Johns Hopkins there were posters showing his face defaced with Hitler mustaches, he said. When he attends lectures or gives speeches on campus, Dershowitz says, he needs police officers to escort him around campus for his own safety.
"These students don't want me to be safe," he said. "They don't want students who agree with me to be safe. They just want their ideas to be safe and protected from any contrary point of view."
There is so much irony in this article.

RE: The Campus Protest Master Thread
That girl is getting tore back on twitter and elsewhere:
Source: http://newbostonpost.com/2015/11/12/bost...es-to-dad/
Quote:In an interview with MarketWatch, Mullen, who is in her fourth year at Northeastern, said she expects to owe about $150,000 on student loans when she graduates.
Mullen’s online profile at Shiftgig says she graduated from Francis W. Parker High School in Chicago. According to the Francis W. Parker School website, it offers kindergarten through 12th grade classes for which tuition tops out at $34,560.
Assessor records show that Mullen’s family has a home on West Wabansia Avenue in Chicago’s north side that carries a value of $989,990. According to BlockShopper, the student’s father, Steven Mullen, paid a little more than $1 million for the home in 2005.
Steve Mullen has posted numerous photos to his Facebook page showing his participation at Chicago’s Million Student March. In one post, Mullen notes that his daughter helped launch the Million Student March initiative:
“This is a movement that my daughter Keely has initiated along with one of her fellow student colleagues. They are gaining traction in what promises to be the next national crisis. We need to demand a serious discussion of what we plan to do re: the cost of education in order to give these young people entering life a fair shot. Please spread the word!”
Also:
Quote:“Mullen identifies as trans-feminine and “gender-mobile,” prefers “they/them” pronouns, and works to be an ear and an advocate for the wide diversity of student identities at SAIC,” his bio states.
Her father is a part of the 1% and identifies as trans-feminine.
Why am I not surprised?

RE: The Campus Protest Master Thread
Story is making the rounds on Yahoo and other sources, but this headline is the most damning.
" Students Protest Rapist at UC Berkeley"
http://www.kgoradio.com/2015/11/18/stude...-berkeley/
Quote:(KGO) – UC Berkeley student protesters converged on a disciplinary hearing today to keep an accused rapist off campus.
Students with BAMN (By Any Means Necessary) plastered the CAL campus today with posters with a photo and the name of a former student accused of raping a woman one year ago in a dorm room.
The university expelled him, but no criminal charges were filled. Now he’s appealing. That prompted sexual assault survivor Stephanie Garcia to go public.
“I also did this because I also want to reverse the stigma on rapists because the person, the victims is stigmatized.”
That’s from a post on Youtube that led to protesters gathering at Sproul Plaza and marching to the building where Garcia was confronting her attacker, a student code of conduct hearing.
Organizer Angela Dancev “He needs to be held accountable for is actions and the violence that he committed on another individual. He needs to be off this campus.”
Student protesters maintain this is a test case for the new Yes Means Yes Consent Law.
So, let's get this straight:
Article title assigns title of "rapist" to someone who cops didn't even charge.
University allows "RAPIST" posters with guy's name and face to be put up all around campus (nice precedent they're setting there).
Use mob tactics to influence (the already b.s.) campus kangaroo court hearings.
Am I missing anything? The world we live in.

RE: The Campus Protest Master Thread
Quote:Princeton University students organized by the Black Justice League group waged an overnight sit-in in the university president's office to demand changes including the removal of Woodrow Wilson's name from campus.
Link
Quote:The following is the full text of the demands presented to the university:
To President Eisgruber and Princeton University Staff,
We have gathered here today to outline our demands for this administration so that i may be held accountable in improving the social and academic experiences of its black students at Princeton.
WE DEMAND the university administration publicly acknowledge the racist legacy of Woodrow Wilson and how he impacted campus policy and culture. We also demand that steps be made to rename Wilson residential college, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs, and any other building named after him. Furthermore, we would like the mural of Wilson to be removed from the Wilcox dining hall.
WE DEMAND cultural competency training for all staff and faculty. It was voted down on the grounds of trespassing freedom of speech last spring semester. We demand a public conversation, which will be student led and administration supported, on the true role of freedom of speech and freedom of intellectual thought in a way that does not reinforce anti-Blackness and xenophobia. We demand classes on the history of marginalized peoples (for example, courses in the Department for African American Studies) be added to the list of distribution requirements. Learning about marginalized groups, their cultures, and structures of privilege is just as important as any science or quantitative reasoning course. We propose that this requirement be incorporated into the Social Analysis requirement.
WE DEMAND a cultural space on campus dedicated specifically to Black students, and that space can be within the Carl A. Fields Center but should be clearly marked. The naming of this space should be at the students' discretion in order to avoid naming it after a white benefactor or person with bigoted beliefs, as evidenced by the naming of Stanhope Hall.
These are the demands from Black students at Princeton, who, in the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, are "sick and tired of being sick and tired." While we are grateful for the collaboration we have had with faculty and administrators in the past, we make these demands during this unique time to expedite these processes.
So that we can ensure that these demands will be met, we will request that President Eisgruber sign this document.

So after fighting for decades to end segregation, now they want the power to segregate themselves away from all the horrible oppressive white people?

RE: The Campus Protest Master Thread
For anyone who had any doubt about the background of these oppressed black students, take a look at this article written by a black alum at Yale:
Quote:What Belonging at Yale Really Means
Imagine you are green, and most of the people in your country, particularly people in positions of power, are blue.
Your first week as a freshman at one of the most powerful institutions in your country, you walk into the huge hall, called Commons, with its colossal blue and white banner bearing a single word: YALE. It’s beautiful. Your heart swells with pride when you see it.
And then you scan the room. There are roughly 60 tables with about 10 people per table. Fifty-eight of those tables are filled with mostly blue people, with a few orange, purple and green people mixed in. Two of those tables, front left, are full of green people. A green person motions for you to come over. You smile widely.
It is the first time in almost a decade you have had enough fellow green people at your school to fill two whole tables. Two tables out of sixty. You are excited about this.
You glance over at the people clearing tables and serving food. As you expected, they are mostly green like you.
Over the next few weeks you learn that, like you, most of your fellow green classmates seated at the two green tables in Commons also were top students at private prep or boarding schools. The few from majority green high schools, usually in California or the South, tell you Yale admissions officers came looking for them, having recruited others from their school in the past. They couldn’t pass up the amazing need-based financial aid package a prestigious school had to offer. You feel sorry for them.
