CAMBRIDGE – Days after Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow agreed to explore demands from student activists to remove imagery from the school seal that they say is racially offensive, the same group issued fresh demands, including more financial aid for minorities, a new office of diversity and inclusion, and revamping course requirements to cover racism, white supremacy and imperialism.
The demands, posted on the Reclaim Harvard Law website were delivered on the same day activists led a school discussion about racial issues on campus:
PRINCETON, New Jersey – A student activist group at Princeton University calling itself "The Black Justice League" may have just dealt a fatal roundhouse blow to the school's longtime connection to Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the U.S. and the prestigious university's 13th president.
The group's 32-hour sit-in – Princeton's first in decades – outside current President Christopher Eisgruber's office led Eisgruber to offer a concession to their demands. He announced that he has "asked the Board of Trustees to develop a process to consider" how the school recognizes Wilson.
