Nearly 3,000 people have signed a petition demanding that Yale remove Sarah Braasch GRD ’20 from school as punishment for calling the police on a black graduate student who was napping in the Hall of Graduate Studies common room, reports the Yale Daily News.
Notes YDN:
A video of Braasch confronting the black student, Lolade Siyonbola GRD ’19, in HGS went viral earlier this month, generating headlines around the world. The petition also notes an earlier incident in which Braasch called the police on a different black graduate student who was lost in HGS at the time.
And, of course, the black social justice warrior set jumped on the wacky event:
A coalition of black graduate and professional students, including Siyonbola, has also released an
open letter separate from the petition calling for Yale administrators to implement a “university-wide comprehensive plan for dismantling white supremacy, structural racism, racial policing, and racial aggression at Yale and in the city of New Haven, to be implemented over the course of three academic years.”...The open letter lists nine specific recommendations, including the creation of a Title VI Racial Discrimination and Harassment Office to replace the current Committee on Racial and Ethnic Harassment, which the letter says lacks the “structure or resources to adequately address this issue.”

Other recommendations include a University-wide curricular and teaching requirement focused on the history of racial violence in the United States for graduate students; a zero-tolerance stance on racial harassment; a rule prohibiting Yale police officers from bringing guns to non-violent disputes on campus; the recognition of the Graduate Students of Color Coalition, which was recently revived by Siyonbola and other students, as a body on par with the school’s official student council, the Graduate Student Assembly; and several other initiatives calling for Yale to admit and hire more people of color.
“For students of color, we require at least a 50% increase in Black and Native students who are descendants of chattel slavery or settler colonialism in the United States, followed by those who are descendants of chattel slavery in the Caribbean and the Americas, and finally those who are current or former subjects of Western imperialism across the African continent, for all of whom tuition is free,” the letter states.
Sounds legit.
ReplyDeleteThe SJWs are so desperate to claim Victimhood that they will latch onto anything.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fun to sit back and watch all that be implemented, we could start a pool on how long it would be before the school crashed and burned.
ReplyDelete"Woke"
ReplyDeleteWhy don't the SJWs protest about real institutional racialism against minorities at Yale?

Just like on this website, they don't care about racism, they're just anti-white.
DeleteP.S. Unz has some other interesting observations on the covert anti-Asian discrrimination policies of the Ivys - and liberal /SJW complicity in the whole mess.
ReplyDeleteIs this one example? https://www.unz.com/isteve/new-yorker-five-centuries-of-white-racism-against-asian-americans/
Delete"...and several other initiatives calling for Yale to admit and hire more people of color."
ReplyDelete“For students of color, we require at least a 50% increase in Black and Native students who are descendants of chattel slavery or settler colonialism in the United States..."
So whoever wrote these things does promote racism, as long as their preferred race(s) is/are the beneficiary. This seems to be a common modern trend "we hate racism... whites are bad... therefore we need these racist policies to be implemented"
