Ohio U. race protest group wants establishment of mandatory ‘cultural competency’ courses
Members of the Ohio University activist group Black Lives Action Coalition (BLAC) want to see compulsory “cultural competency” courses established for the spring of 2017.
BLAC’s Olivia Busby said that she had been “mulling over the idea for [cultural competency] classes for a year and a half,” but an incident at a campus “graffiti wall” led to the need for “immediate action.”
The group had held an “emergency meeting” right before winter break to ponder action following the “defacing” of a Black Lives Matter message on the (graffiti) wall.
“It’s always like something happens, we react to it, we get mad, we come together to discuss and that’s it,” Busby said. “There’s never any action put in place. It’s like we forget that the racism on campus doesn’t exist when it’s not making us mad or upset.”
Busby said she wants to make the class mandatory for students of all majors.
Brittany Mitchell, co-creator of the class and member of BLAC, said both she and Busby hope to have the application completed in order for the class to be considered for next school year.
The classes will be different compared to most classes because it will not be a “typical, hetero-normative class,” rather the professor will be used as a moderator to keep the dialogue constant between the students, student teachers and teaching assistants, Busby said.
