Bucknell University’s student government recently endorsed several demands made by the school’s Black Student Union, including a demand for black student housing and another that would require students to identify the “racial climate” of classrooms in end-of-course assessments.
“We DEMAND that there be more housing options for black students on campus aside from 7th Street House,” the Black Student Union wrote in a statement.
The student government letter called on Bucknell University President John Bravman to “make a statement recognizing that he saw the Black Student Union’s Letter and that he is working to fit their demands,” according to the campus newspaper.
The College Fix reached out via email to Sam Douds, Bucknell’s student government president, to ask why he and other leaders endorsed the letter, but did not receive a response.
