Student activists, women’s studies department demand university launch ‘queer studies’ program

Student activists and Women’s and Gender Studies professors at a top-ranked public research university in California have banded together to demand administrators launch a “queer studies” program, saying it would address the needs of “invalidated” queer students on campus and make the school more “inclusive.”

The Women’s and Gender Studies department at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has called on the administration to incorporate a “queer studies minor,” suggesting it’s the “just” thing to do, and student activists told peers who disagreed with them on the need for the program to “check their privilege.”

All of this started back in early November when a student activist group calling itself “SLO Solidarity” sprang to life in the wake of the student protests that engulfed campuses nationwide last fall over claims universities are bastions of institutionalized racism.

Among SLO Solidarity’s 41 demands are calls for the creation of a queer studies minor and a “Women’s, Gender, & Queer Studies” major, as well as the hiring of more professors to teach such subjects.

In November, activists lined a stage during a visit from the California State University system’s chancellor. Their mouths were covered with duct-tape, and they held signs stating “Queer Studies Now.” The protest sought to “remind the campus and the Chancellor that many students, unfortunately, do not feel included in our campus community,” according to participants.
