Cornell’s Black Students United promise to ‘shut things down,’ ‘disrupt business as usual’

This past Thursday, members of Cornell’s Black Students United “expressed disappointment” with the lack of progress made by the university in implementing their demands.

As such, the group promised “further action.”

Amber Aspinall, the political chair of BSU, apparently doesn’t believe any racial progress has been made in the last half-century:

“This is a history that we’ve inherited, and I take that history and that legacy very seriously. A lot of the demands unfortunately have been things that people have been talking about for decades. The big question is if we’re having these conversations over and over again, what conversations aren’t we having?”

Though Cornell “was receptive” to things like changing the name of the Cornell Plantations, establishing support groups for “students of color,” and recruiting more minorities, Aspinall wondered about the implementation of a “diversity curriculum” and prison divestment.
