Inside Higher Ed: Jena 6 walkout
Students at campuses nationwide walked out of classes Monday as part of continuing protests on behalf of the Jena 6, a group of young African American high school students facing charges for attacking a white student after a series of incidents, including one involving the placement of a noose on a tree outside school, that black students say were ignored. In September, thousands of students traveled to Jena, La., for a massive protest. Among the campuses where students walked out: Arizona State University, California State University at Long Beach, the State University of New York at Binghamton, the University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Louisville and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
