Its funny how an entire week has passed since the racial terrorizing of a female undergraduate at a UA dorm, and not one university related media outlet has touched it, not even to deny it. Its also funny (well, not funny haha, but funny oh) that students themselves have not intervened in this silence to make this case an institutional priority.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, there exist people that actually do feel strongly about such issues, and they show this through participation in a flash of collective action that swiftly and effectively demonstrate that racially motivated crimes will not be tolerated by that student body and, in one and the same event, force their university to account for such an offense by demanding educational measures that address the history of race-related violence in the US. This place is called the University of California San Diego, and last week, after a noose was found hanging in the library, what did the students do? Well, they stormed the Chancellor's offices in protest.
Talk about a peer institution. Yes, please!
