LSU is moving several cultural centers services under Student Affairs and Campus Life while keeping the buildings open.

LSU says the centers will remain available to student organizations across campus for meetings, programs and activities. Meg Sunstrom, LSU’s chief communications officer, said the decision was not to close the centers but to make the spaces available to all students.

The university also says students will continue to receive support and resources through Student Affairs and Campus Life.


AACC - African American Cultural Center

But the changes have raised concerns among student leaders.

Ayana Lockley, president of the LSU NAACP and statewide vice president of the NAACP, said the African American Cultural Center provides more than services. She said it gives Black students a place to connect with others who understand their experiences.

“The needs of Black students are different than the needs of other students,” Lockley said.

LSU says making the centers available to all student organizations will give more students opportunities to build community.

Lockley said the AACC was already available to all students. She said the concern is whether Black students will continue to have a space focused on their culture and experiences.

“The AACC has always been available for all students,” Lockley said.

Does this apply to every group? Hispanic students? Asian students? Or does one group need to be singled out?

Thats fine, as long as you have designated places for other ethinic groups like white, Hispanic Asian, Indian etc that have their own unique culture and experiences.

How exactly are their needs different. Aren’t they all just students trying to get an education?

As someone who grew up on the doctrine of Dr. King, current Black culture makes me sick. It seems most Black "leaders" would rather just return to the days of Jim Crow.

Too bad. John Bel Edwards is gone. Landry's people are running things now and they clearly don't mind exercising political power. Be grateful that they haven't closed this shite down completely.

So they want to be segregated.

There’s a college up the road for them.

Segregation has been shown to be detrimental to black people throughout American history.

LSU NAACP: “We demand segregation!!”

We need to be equal, but separate, but also more equal
