Oberlin College president refuses to respond to black students who submitted 14 pages of demands
OBERLIN, Ohio - Oberlin College President Marvin Krislov said he will not respond to 14 pages of demands submitted by black students.
Krislov posted a statement Wednesday about the petition, which was submitted last month before students went on winter break.
The detailed petition includes general goals of increasing the number of black students, faculty and administrators and more controversial proposals including creating "exclusive Black safe spaces," curriculum changes, firing of specific employees, and renaming academic buildings.
The petition says "Failure to meet them [demands] will result in a full and forceful response from the community you fail to support."
