Demands for Racial Equity at Auburn University
Posted on 3/1/21 at 2:00 pm

wow. this garbage has hit AU
The demands in the PDF below were developed over the course of several months thanks to the close council of a number of Auburn University undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni. They are organized into four categories:
Monetary Commitments
Campus Culture
Education & Training
Structural Changes
We see these as four broad areas over which Auburn administrators, if they so decided, could advocate for transformative racial equity. We recognize that many of these demands have been put forth before by groups and individuals predating our own, and that, due to the nature of the white supremacist machine that is Auburn University, many will be put forth after us.

The demands listed throughout this document have been developed with a great deal of care and love for the present and past Black members of the Auburn community who strive daily to make this campus a more inclusive and equitable space for all. Our current action builds upon their experiences and work to establish racial justice on this campus.
In addition, we would like to leave a disclaimer with these demands. Certainly, meeting any or all of these demands will require a large amount of work. It is likely that our suggested deadlines, though informed by research and conversation with experienced parties, may even be unrealistic. However, we insist that Auburn University administrators are capable of and responsible for seeing these demands through as soon as possible, regardless of whether our estimates are accurate.
Finally, we would like to firmly state that the result of these demands should not cause disproportionate additional work for the students or staff of the Office of Inclusion and Diversity (OID). We have already witnessed how initiatives like Student Involvement’s 2019 “Breaking Barriers” event, President Gogue’s Listening Sessions, and the Presidential Task Force for Opportunity & Equity have exploited the time and labor of Black students and staff without meeting their needs. To that end, while this work will need to be collaborative and span multiple departments, we ask that the University refrain from tasking OID with the sole responsibility of fulfilling these demands.

Glad they specified that the demands weren't developed with a great deal of care and love for the University. It wasn't obvious enough already.

This generation and it’s ‘educators’ are a fricking embarrassment.

I didn’t realize the rock star football and basketball stars at Auburn were treated like 2nd class citizens.

They may as well take me off the alumni mailing list.
Anything to do with Auburn is blocked on my end. My relationship with Auburn has been over for quite a while.

This is what happens when you lower your standards.

The answer should just be... no.

Just give everyone a degree and call it a day.

"No."
This ought to be the response of ANYONE the first time someone uses this language with them.

In their 13 page demand sheet they get Hardgrave’s name wrong right from the start.

If I was an administrator at Auburn, I would respond with the following gif:
I wouldn't even take a meeting with them.

I fully expect these demands to be ignored, and dismissed, outright.

This is the fricking kicker. Don't give this work to the already established department that is lazy and doesn't do anything, we are going to need all new people hired for this do nothing crap.
It is time to cut and run for me from these universities.

At some point there will be blowback of epic proportions happen with this mess when the well is gone to one too many times.
The term racial equity is a joke these days as well as one race is seeking special treatment to the hilt. 13%(minus those who are tired of this bullshite too) are running the show for now it seems.

Give us what we want, but don't make us do anything to get it done

We want to cause a bunch of work, but don't give any of the work to the people who are working made up jobs, because they are already working too hard.
