College Students Allege Racism, Get President’s Commitment
Students protesting over allegations of campus racism at a Catholic college said Tuesday night they’d gotten the college’s president to sign an agreement promising to create a more inclusive environment.
About 50 Providence College students had occupied the Rev. Brian Shanley’s office in their protest. They said that after 13 hours Shanley signed an agreement of commitment Tuesday night.
“I, Brian J. Shanley, commit myself to continuous action working with the students, faculty, and staff of Providence College to create an environment that is more equitable, diverse, and inclusive,” said the agreement, photos of which the students posted online.
