Oberlin president says ‘no’ to students’ list of demands
We at Twitchy have covered quite a few stories aboutstudent groups that have presented lists of demands to university administrators apparently many students voluntarily filled out applications to these schools and wrote tuition checks withoutany ideathey were hellish hotbeds of racism, sexual assault, and cafeterias that try to pass offciabatta bread as a passable substitute for a crispy baguette in Vietnamese dishes.
So far, these showdowns between students and the schools they chose to attend have resulted in resignations and capitulation, so we feel like borrowing the siren from another website to announced that a university president Oberlin’s president has told disgruntled students they can take a hike, despite the dire warning of a“full and forceful response.”
Inside Higher Ed reportedThursday that Oberlin presidentMarvin Krislov posted a response to the demands on the school’s website explaining that he would not negotiate based on the students’ “non-negotiable” list of demands, which included the creation ofspecial, segregated black-only safe-spaces across campus, along withan $8.20 an hour stipend to be paid toorganizers of black student protests.
