Is it POSSIBLE for Progressives to make up their mind?

Taxpayer-Funded California University Offers Segregated Black-Only Housing

ANNABEL SCOTT

California State University Los Angeles has debuted segregated housing available to students who “identify as Black/African American.”

The Halsi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community has opened approximately nine months after the CSULA Black Student Union issued a list of demands to the university, including a “Black student only” living space with a “full time Resident Director who can cater to the needs of Black students.”

The list of demands states, “Many Black CSLA students cannot afford to live in Alhambra or the surrounding area with the high prices of rent. A CSLA housing space delegated for Black students would provide a cheaper alternative housing solution for Black students. This space would also serve as a safe space for Black CSLA students to congregate, connect, and learn from each other.”

Meanwhile, taxpayer-funded ITT shuts down because the government would no longer fund their "educational opportunities". I must have seen at minimum, 1,000 ads for ITT Tech.

It seems that newspeak easily morphs into newthink denial... lol.

Here are the demands that lead to this new safe zone:

The Black Student Union, along with the entire black student body of CSLA, is DEMANDING that CSLA administrators work with the Black student Union towards the development of a more positive campus climate by complying with the demands as set forth:

WE DEMAND $20,000.00 dollars per quarter allocated to the Black Student Union, an organization necessary for Black student development. The Black Student Union is one of the largest student organizations; yet, there is currently no operating budget.

WE DEMAND a CSLA Anti-discrimination policy. Furthermore, we demand that cultural competency training be given to all faculty and staff. It is a shame that discriminatory and racist incidents continue to happen on campus, and those responsible do not face any repercussions. An anti-discrimination policy would outline exactly what discriminatory behavior looks like, and what the consequences are when such policy is violated.

WE DEMAND a $30 million dollar endowment to help support Black students financially, akin to the initiative that is being implemented at UC Berkeley. Many Black students must work 2-3 jobs in order to pay for the continually rising cost of education. Funding is one of the reasons why many Black students do not apply to CSLA, and also a hindrance to many that are accepted. For a University that is as “diverse” as CSLA, something must be done to make sure that Black students are financially secure.

WE DEMAND Black scholarships geared to black students who are both athletes and non-athletes.

WE DEMAND that the Pan African Studies Department projects, programs, and initiatives be fully funded beginning with an additional $100,000.00 for the 2015/2016 academic year.

WE DEMAND the creation of a Master’s program in the Pan African Studies Department.

WE DEMAND the hiring of ten tenured track professors in the Pan African Studies Department. We also DEMAND a continuous commitment to the hiring of Black faculty across all academic disciplines. We want one in-house advisor for the Pan African Studies Department.

WE DEMAND $500,000 in funding for outreach programs that will focus on the recruitment of Black high school students as well as transfer students. This program should be facilitated and overseen by the Pan African Studies Department. There must be an increase in the Black student body from 4% to 15% minimum within two years and to increase Black student admissions to 25% within five years. Additionally, there must be an implementation of programs specifically designed to increase admission, retention, and graduation rates Black students.

WE DEMAND the hiring of 3 full time and permanent Black faculty counselors at the Student Health Center. There must be Black student representation on the Board of Directors and Black public safety and police officers.

WE DEMAND more Black students hired for on-campus, student assistant, work positions.

WE DEMAND CSLA immediately divests ALL its investment holdings (active, passive, direct and indirect) from the private prison corporations of Corrections Corporation of America and the GEO Group. We further demand CSLA immediately divest from Wells Fargo and any other institution that funds and bankrolls the for profit private prison industry.

WE DEMAND first and second year students fulfil a minimum of two ethnic studies courses, with one being a Pan African Studies course, as a graduation requirement.

WE DEMAND the creation and financial support of a CSLA housing space delegated for Black students and a full time Resident Director who can cater to the needs of Black students. Many Black CSLA students cannot afford to live in Alhambra or the surrounding area with the high prices of rent. A CSLA housing space delegated for Black students would provide a cheaper alternative housing solution for Black students. This space would also serve as a safe space for Black CSLA students to congregate, connect, and learn from each other.

Lastly, WE DEMAND an in-person meeting with you on Monday, November 23, 2015 at 3:00p.m in the Pan African Student Resource Center. During this meeting we will discuss the fulfillment and implementation of each demand. We are dedicated to seeking equality and security for each Black student on Cal State L.A’s campus, and we will not stop until each demand has been met.

Onwards till Freedom!
The Black Student Union at Cal State L.A.!

Good for them.

Now, what the fuck does any of that have to do with Markle's headline?

How does separating themselves from all other races help them assimilate with all the other races they will encounter in the workplace?

Safe in their all black cocoon, they can easily continue to believe the garbage from Black Lives Matter, continue to believe that they are victims, and the whites OWE them something.

What's next? White and Colored water fountains? White and Colored hotels?

I would liken this "segregation" set up to the existence of single gender schools. Without the distraction of the opposite gender a student can more easily focus on their studies.

With all the possible hassles and stresses of navigating a white oriented culture such as has been the case with the US I see a distinct advantage in being able to network and develop among other black students.

With a history of decades of "whites only" by design or default I see no problem with this at all. There will be plenty of time to interact with all kinds of other cultures outside of this college experience.

Hahahahahaha ....

Hahahahahahaha ....

I have no problem with this under our statutes, case law and constitution. If the board of the University believed this housing would enhance the student experience, and they can give a rational basis for the same, I think the classification meets all standards. Where I would have a problem, if a white student wanted to join this program, and was denied access. I think that this would the have to meet the compelling state interest standard, and either the student should be allowed to join in the activities of the dorm and could become a resident. There are many kinds of specialized dorms which classify participants, it is when an exclusion happens that the classification should get strict scrutiny........but for the most part, I am trying to seriously discuss this when the intent has nothing to do with options, and everything to do with the fear and hate of the Dixiecrat agenda........nothing new, but some of these programs do need scrutiny.

Not surprising. Not surprising in the least bit.

Perfectly okay if blacks have segregated dorms, insulating the blacks from the real world, THEY are too sensitive to be forced to live with different races.

Yep, just so they vote Democrat!
