Oberlin President Tells Complaining Students To Take A Hike

Oberlin College's president released a statement refusing to even consider a 14-page list of demands submitted by student activists, one of the most significant shows of defiance in the past few months to a wave of intense campus activism.

The list of demands at Oberlin, released in mid-December, is one of the most extreme seen at any college in the past two months. Among other things, the list demands the firing of several school employees, creation of segregated black-only safe spaces, a school stipend for protest leaders, and the creation of a bridge program to educate released convicts at the school. The list's authors are anonymous, but several hundred students signed a Google Doc endorsing it.

Now, over a month later, Oberlin president Marvin Krislov has responded with a harsh tone. In his response, Krislov says the tone of the demands is utterly unacceptable, even if the document raises some valid concerns. As a result, he simply refused to directly engage with any of the list's demands.

Maybe the header should have said "Ungrateful snots denied!" I predict an admin building takeover before long and maybe even the ouster of Pres. Krislov eventually. For being such a racist pig of course. To me, way to go sir, for having the gonadal fortitude to tell them to pound sand.

My response would have been even shorter:

"Does the acronym KMA mean anything to you?"

Oberlin is a left-wing cesspool, so the President of the University himself is, in many ways, responsible for whatever problems he is facing.

My other question - WHERE are these kids getting the money to fund their stay at Oberlin, while also being full time, brainless activists?

I’ll - answer my own question. I doubt ANY are paying any significant portion of the tuition themselves.

Once again, the progressive-left nanny-state survives and supports its own worker-bees through government debt and printed money

Change the monetary system of the USA and you change our politics entirely.

“Afrikana” students? If you don’t like it here Afrikanas, then go to your ancestral countries/homes and see how they treat demands like you just made.

If this is as it appears, this college guy deserves a lot of support Maybe the campus cesspool may get cleaned up

WHERE are these kids getting the money to fund their stay at Oberlin

Student "loans" provided by Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer perhaps??

‘...creation of segregated black-only safe spaces,...’

No kinding. So they want segregation when it suits their purposes otherwise they want to desegregate. Its hard to take them seriously.

Anyone know what ‘safe spaces’ are?

The leftists have been working overtime to create marxist-friendly students and when they get them they are having problems?

Boo-hoo.

Uh, heck yeah. Guess somebody didn’t catch on that they already had safe places 30 or 40 years ago where they wouldn’t have to interact with yucky white folks. Who knew? Are we regressing?
