The interim president at Towson University in Maryland has reportedly signed a list of demands from a group of two dozen black students who occupied his office for eight hours on Wednesday.

Using the hashtag#OccupyTowson, the students listed 13 demands that focused on increasing black tenure-track faculty, requiring staff to take a cultural competency course and creating a no-tolerance policy on racial, sexual and homophobic epithets, The Baltimore Sun reported.

Interim President Timothy Chandler reviewed and revised the students' demands as they protested in his office for more than eight hours. Mr. Chandler agreed to sign his name on the document by 12:40 a.m. Thursday, The Sun reported.

The document reportedly cited instances of "egg shells and racial slurs being thrown out of windows; racial slurs being shouted at house parties; sexual and racial epithets from classroom professors."

Please they don’t want segregation. They want to have a “blacks only” fountain” and a “public fountain” that anyone can use, including them if it suits them. They sure as heck will not tolerate a “whites only” fountain, so no they don’t want segregation.

As a Freeper mentioned the other day, this could be a good thing and the death of the modern lib arts colleges, in their current form, and the rise of Internet and alternative forms of college learning. Who in their right mind would spend a dime at these useless schools? And without a constant stream of students, they will wither.

That’s the same look you always see on the Obama women. Like there is a bad smell in the room. It seems to follow them around. ;-)

I thought most campuses had an anti-bullying policy?

My take is that loads of these university administrators are lefties who crave to cave into black student demands. Other leftist student demands too.

Just think of the administrators and protesters as kind of being in cahoots. Like Ty Cobb said, “The undertaker winks at the town’s doctor when they pass by each other in the street”

Why would anyone pay to go to a University whose policies are unconstitutionally discriminatory and were drafted by illiterate baboons?
