Protests at UC Santa Cruz, St. Olaf College Target Campus Racism

HeadlineMay 04, 2017

The protest came as students at the University of California at Santa Cruz held a sit-in at an administrative building in a protest charging the campus is hostile to African-American students. The African-Black Student Union is calling for a housing co-op for students of color and required diversity training for incoming students. And at St. Olaf’s College in Minnesota, hundreds of students boycotted classes this week and packed an administration building to protest racist incidents on campus.
