U. Vermont Students Demand Administrators Resign Over Failure to Meet Diversity Demands

[Free Beacon] University of Vermont students and Black Lives Matter activists are demanding top administrators resign over the college's failure to meet student demands for diversity initiatives, including the installation of BLM flags on campus.
And I don't buy your ice cream.
Occupying the main administrative building Tuesday, some 200 students loosely organized under a group called NoNames for Justice chanted for the UVM president, provost, and vice provost for student affairs to step down for failing to be adequate allies for students of color.

Students were encouraged to "bring pans, instruments, anything that makes noise" and disrupt administrative work during the "Done with the Bullsh*t Rally."

NoNames is also demanding the permanent flying of multiple BLM flags on campus, including one at UVM Police headquarters, and for the Board of Trustees to officially endorse the BLM platform.

This builds on the group's previous list of demands, which sought university-wide diversity training and further training specifically for Greek life participants; an increase in LGBTQA staff and faculty of color; "renovation" of diversity courses; increased funding for "identity centers" and minority clubs; and the renaming of two campus buildings linked to a UVM professor who championed eugenics research in the 1930s.

#4 Geez Louise. I went through all this crap 50 years ago and this crew seems stupider than those.

How about a flag that says "NO LIVES MATTER" or maybe "WHY DO BLACK LIVES MATTER?".

How's that for diversity?

They always get the white haters to self identify.
