New York University officials signaled they are open to a student group's demands to create Black residence floors on campus next year, but the petition is already receiving backlash for proposing students segregate themselves.
"[Residential] Life staff have reached out to the authors of the petition to discuss how we might move forward with their goals," an NYU spokesperson told Washington Square News, NYU's student newspaper. "Given the COVID-related challenges to the student housing system for 2020-2021, these conversations would be aiming towards 2021-2022.”
A "themed engagement floor" for Black students is being pushed by a group called Black Violets NYU. "Marginalized groups" like queer students and international students already have access to such floors, Black Violets told Fox News in a statement.
"Like any other themed engagement floor at NYU, students will have to submit a written statement as to why they would like to live on the floor, which will then either be accepted or rejected on a factor no other than their statement," Black Violets said.
"NYU is a predominantly white institution, making it very difficult for Black students to connect or find community, especially when incidents involving racism occur," Black Violets told Fox News. "It is not about exclusion, but rather creating a space where Black students can feel included."
Critics of such plans say such living arrangements would be akin to racial segregation.
"There is nothing progressive about the establishment of racially segregated housing at NYU," Karsten Schneider wrote in a column for the World Socialist Web Site. "It is irrelevant whether the segregation being implemented is voluntary or mandatory. Racial segregation, in all forms, is entirely reactionary."

How about a white safe zone?
Segregation.
With the rate of black on black crime, they may come to regret this.
Separate but equal.
Nooo. Not that!
Na, they'll just blame whites for segregating them. The MSM will run with that, no questions asked.
I like this idea. Blacks live in designated location
Now, as soon as they get what is being demanded, some will say “Hey, we just got re-segregated! How did that happen?”
Can’t blame whites. Can’t blame Russians. Can’t even blame
Trump. You want it, you got it! Happy now?
Segregation now, Segregation forevah!
Who knew. The Black George Corley walks among us.
give-em their own drinking fountains too...
Modern segregation and the BLM marxists are the new Bull Conners.
NYU should declare itself a black only school with free tuition.
I agree with a socialist? I have Marx germs. Get hot water!! Get some disinfectant!! Get some iodine!
They printing up “COLORED ONLY” signs? I saw some of those back in the early 70’s.
“NYU student group demands Black-only student housing on campus”
I suspect that most whites won’t mind them confining themselves to a self-imposed ghetto.
Good grief. Why all the hand-wringing?
Why not just let people live like they would like to. All black, all white, all gay, all football players, whatever. Or, for most: None of the above.
This racist crap is wearing me out.
NYU should trump these yo-yos and tell them all black students have to live in blacks only dormitories.
How many of these melanin enriched clowns are getting a free ride at NYU? Which last I looked is very expensive at $53,308...... One can only guess that a dorm room and meals is another $10000.
Go ahead and self segregate I say. This gives whites and Asians a better chance of segregating too.
Blacks bringing back Jim Crow laws at NYU. What goof balls.
