Included in this list of demands we have:

quote:

Safe space for Black students on campus that are away from the daily stresses of navigating white spaces and the work/responsibilities associated with the HCDC office. Th is space can either be an expansion of the HCDC office or an entirely different space created on campus.


h/t to oneeyedwillie for his original thread on the ot.

Obviously SEC related because MSU is a member of the southeastern conference. We saw how missouri became a national laughing stock with similar issues...does anyone think this MSU movement will gain any traction? Is the grind coming to a halt?

This one cracks me up. We can't hack it, but we want a degree anyway. LOL

quote:

4) Retention and graduation rates of African Americans • African American students are consistently being retained at significantly lower rates than Caucasians or any other racial group on campus. o For MSU's 6-year retention rate, only 49% of African Americans are retained at the University whereas 64% of white students are retained. o African American students have a 41.6% graduation rate. White students have a 62.2% graduation rate. We want proactive programming and resources dedicated to increasing the retention and graduation rates of African American students on campus. From providing support and counseling services to dedicating more money to fostering a strong African American community on campus, meaning more financing to the HCDC office, more black faculty, more support of African American organizations, and expanding current counseling, educational and financial services to African American students. We also want more transparency and research done concerning minority performance and well-being at this university.


I didn't know students are retained, I thought they earned their own passing grades? Ah frick I failed that class, but they better retain me anyway.

Holy Christ. Why not push for a culture change within your race than demanding free services from a University to do it for you. Ridiculous.

I'm weird. I hate Fresh Market (whites only grocery store) but love my country club. Our only black member moved to Atlanta 2 years ago. He was a great guy and severely limited my ability to claim black friends.

Are you fricking kidding me? How about use the existing free tutoring and counseling services available to ALL students?

Jesus, stop bitching about wanting black organizations to have "equal funding" to the white organizations. THERE ARE NO WHITE ORGANIZATIONS, stop alienating yourself from the rest of the student body.
