IndyStar.com: Black students at IUPUI set new deadline
Black students issued a new deadline Sunday for university officials at IUPUI to answer their call to improve race relations on campus.
IUPUI black student representatives set a 5 p.m. Wednesday deadline to meet their demands. In their final statement, “You Didn’t Listen,” given at a town hall forum Sunday night, they said that if the university doesn’t meet the deadline, they would call for the immediate resignation of certain administration, campus and community life staff members.
At a town hall forum Sunday night, black student leaders said the administration so far has responded inadequately to requests made 10 days ago.
Those demands — including a campus center for black students, an African-American studies program and $78,000 for black groups — must now be met by 5 p.m. Wednesday.
If the university misses the deadline, the students will call for the resignation of certain administration and campus staff members. The black student leaders would not say who those officials might be or comment about their earlier threats to sue.
