mizzou protests
Creating a supportive environment for students to share their experiences “makes perfect sense for our time and place in history."
Racism is still alive and well on college campuses.
Most schools have around 1-in-20 faculty that are black.
Students are demanding that faculty be 10% Black. Most flagship public universities have less than 5%.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
From Ferguson to Mizzou, the Show-Me State is now a focal point.
Students who don't feel comfortable with law enforcement can contact the civil rights organization.
In the midst of racial tension, some people are doing everything they can to avoid facing the uncomfortable truth.
"To say that I have a right to violate your civil rights because you're offending me is un-American. It is unconstitutional."
These students are speaking out, and we are all listening.
In recent weeks, there have been several racist incidents at the New York school.
