Black students at UC Berkeley often feel isolated and even oppressed, says a campus group that wants the nation’s premier public university to step up recruitment of African American students and improve support for them.
So the Black Student Union hammered out 10 demands, delivered them to the chancellor, and set a deadline to meet them.
The demands include renaming a building after Assata Shakur, a former Black Panther and the first woman on the FBI’s list of Most Wanted Terrorists.
To the students, Shakur is no terrorist. She’s a victim and ally who gives voice to their pain.
The students call Shakur “an icon of resistance within oppressed communities (who) represents Black resilience in the face of unadulterated state-sanctioned violence.”

Have we not built black dorms, black student centers, and installed academically fraudulent African American studies departments at a plethora of colleges?
Have people checked police blotters in college towns, especially on the periphery of campuses where gown is regularly preyed upon by town?
Yup. They do many things that are un-PC despite that infamy.
“Too many students have told us about being excluded from study groups, ignored during class discussions, verbally harassed at parties and social events, and feeling, in a general sense, vulnerable, isolated, and invisible,” Dirks wrote the students. “This is something we deplore.”
