A student group at the University of Chicago calling themselves, UChicago United, released a list of 50 demands that must be met by the university. The demands include segregated housing, six racially centered programs, and a sociology class focusing on Islamic history.
UChicago United did not detail what would occur if the school does not give in to these demands but simply stated on a Facebook page for a rally accompanying these demands that the list “will serve as the launch of a long-term campaign fighting for marginalized students.”
According to the event’s Facebook page, UChicago United includes groups such as the Arab Student Association, the PanAsia Solidarity Coalition, the Organization of Black Students, and the African Caribbean Students Association.
A copy of UChicago United’s list of demands available as a Google document contains 10 demands from the organization in general, as well as additional demands from various groups associated with UChicago United.
The first 10 demands include that the university fund and run cultural houses, specifically those for black, Latin, and Asian houses; that the school increase the number of “faculty of color;” and that at least half the staff involved in the hiring process be “people of color.”
The students also demanded a revitalization of the University of Chicago’s Bias Response Team, which is a campus advisory group that provides assistance in determining how to handle an alleged “bias incident” or any action against a student that is motivated by bias, regardless of whether or not the incident is a hate crime.
Currently, the Bias Response Team does not have any disciplinary capabilities. However, UChicago United wants the capacity of the team extended and seeks “infrastructure for transparent disciplinary processes against faculty and staff who are reported” to the team.

Keep it up! This buffoonery should be further exposed for all rational peoples to see!
