I read about that earlier today, online.
IMO, the College President did exactly the right thing!

Oberlin is so "unethical", that it was one of the first higher learning institutions to allow black students to enroll It's one of the most liberal (if not THE most) schools in the US. And still they whine.

Black safe spaces. Unbelievable

Some of the demands remind me that part of it is generational not racial:

At a different college:
Millennials Ruining the Workforce | News | Philadelphia Magazine

But millennials, West notes, “want to be heard and appreciated.” You know what’s awkward from an elder’s standpoint? Being expected to listen to and appreciate people who haven’t earned that right. Consider, for example, John Lim, a senior at Swarthmore College and, until this past fall, a member of its baseball team. A recent article in the independent student newspaper the Phoenix noted that before Lim left the team, baseball was his life. Yet he quit playing the sport for Swarthmore because he reached this sad conclusion: “I think athletics is really bad for this campus. I really do.” And what, pray tell, has convinced him of this? Why, it’s the unfairness of the athlete-coach dialectic: “[T]he relationship on the field between the player and the coach,” he told the Phoenix, “is very much whatever the coach says, you do.” Whatever the coach says, you do. Oh, the humanity!

Thank you for the link.

Currently 5.6% of the student body is black. That's about 150 students.

nothing. nothing at all.

but the kids who received a trophy for showing up are now in college and feel they have a right to impose their views on everyone else.

Wait until they graduate... they think they have it tough now? LOL
