Unless I missed it, I am surprised I didn't see a thread.

I didn't hear most of the news until the President of the university system stepped down, but this is what I have gathered:

1. There have been some separate cases of racism around the university that appear unrelated.

2. Students thought the President of the whole university system should do more to address it

3. The football team and others protested, so the President stepped down.

This seems a little silly. I don't know if the President of the whole system needs to address every isolated incident on campus. If someone smeared a shit swastika in the bathroom of my dorms at college, maybe the president of student life at my school would address it, not the president of the Maryland university system.


I couldn't care less about this though, but then I saw this video.

The protesters made a camp on the quad and had a circle around it. Student journalists were trying to take photos and were being harassed. Apparently, these people have the right to not have their pictures taken in public spaces... and the right to not let others freely roam on a public space.
