Please give us some ideas that would make LSU more progressive in your mind
Not that it isnt by numbers, just most blacks, especially in Louisiana will never think it is, most blacks in Louisiana when I told them I went to LSU acted as if I was the only one walking around or I only saw another one every blue moon unless it was an athlete and thats the perception, and it needs to change. While I was there I saw it as diverse on its face but segregated. You have a lot of minority groups, free speech, but no one group truly intertwined with others until sporting events, the forced living situations, obvious situations. It wasnt mandated that way, it was just the way it was, groups stayed to themselves but there was no real push to bring them together either and that was highly noticeable.

Once again the Asians get the shaft. 90% of the emails from the office if diversity are towards black, women, and LGBT students.

So your problem isn't with LSU, but with close minded individuals who can't get over their own preconceived notions.

Well, that's what happens with freedom. People are free to move about as they so desire. Why would you want to "force" people to do anything. Are there colleges out there that force humans to interact with each other?

Nah, not really worth my time, considering how much good it would do. I stopped tilting at windmills quite a while back.

THIS, I will do.
Again, I realize my little bit there doesn’t make a whole lot of difference, but at least my money isn’t subsidizing something I’m in disagreement with.

Just merge LSU, Southern and Grambling and be done with it.

While Im black and know this is a ploy to be an attractive seemingly more progressive minded university, for most blacks, LSU will never be that, even those who attend.
That’s an understatement.
Most black people in BR don’t even LIKE LSU. They feel that it takes something away from Harvard on The Bluffs.

Other than using the name of the organization, not a thing.
Which is also a generic sentence that doesnt just represent that group. Which is what you dont get. No matter what that has to do with that organization, most of us, meaning black people, dont associate the two. When we say that its about what it means, not that group. Yall, meaning the groupthink that spawned and fueled this post, dont want it to mean more than what you want it too but thats just not how it works. The university understood that and can separate the two. You cant cause youve chosen not to. Get over what you think when its not actually about you!

In my experience, it’s blacks who self-segregate cause they don’t want to be around whites. Fine and dandy as long as everyone has the same opportunity to do the same things. Friendships can’t be mandated by the university though. They have to happen organically.

TAF and I are peacefully parting ways after nearly 20 years.

...any college that allows James Carville to teach political science is a POS. Folks like this excrement is the reason our young people are screwed up. We need to take back our universities and public schools.
Hit them in the pocketbook. Withhold giving to LSU.

When I was at LSU back in the 80s, the black students never mingled in the Quad with the white students. They always clustered together in their own group. It was very noticeable.

I'm glad you can separate the 2. However, what are you doing about it? If you truly believe that black lives matter and the BLM group that are igniting the protests/riots/etc... are 2 different things, then why hasn't someone like yourself, made strides to co opt the movement and push back against the marxists/anarchists? Why not push back against the "we believe in the dissolvement of the nuclear family" types?
And then there is the elephant in the room...why is the hyper-violence of the inner city being ingored? You want "change" and want to protest over the 10 deaths/year by police, but ignore the literal thousands/year of black on black crime. This is why the entire BLM movement is not serious to most people. When you march for "black lives matter" and in that same march a 3 year old girl is shot in the head, or a 1 year old boy is shot and killed in the car, or a father that is walking his 5 year old daughter is gunned down in front of her...WHERE IS BLACK LIVES MATTER?

No, black lives matter is a phrase. Black lives matter is a sentence. Black Lives Matter is an organization.

Interesting, because we’re told that if someone says “All lives matter” that it doesn’t matter what they actually mean, what’s important is how it’s interpreted by others. Surely you’re not openly pushing a double standard, are you?

For those who don't want to click:
The front page proudly and largely displays the banner black lives matter.
As a reminder the organization black lives matter is expressly founded to destroy the nuclear family unit and the principles of western civilization. I'm not exaggerating, it's on the front page of their webstite: BLM mission statement
The moniker Black Lives Matter is a political power tactic as old as time. Choose a morally superior name and denounce anyone who attacks your organization as disagreeing with the name.
It's the same thing as believing the People's Republic of China is a republic for the people.
You'd be extremely hard pressed to find more than a handful of people in this entire country that don't think Black Lives Matter. But believing those three words and actively fighting against an organization with that name are not the same thing.
If I founded a movement called "Children's Lives Matter" and my mission goals were the end of orphanages, universal 90% income tax, ban on gay marriage, government controlled birthing licenses, end of capitalism, and the global wealth redistribution through force wouldn't you think some of those are a major problem?
And would it bother you that every time you tried to point out the absurdity of my stated goals of my organization, me and all of my followers simply screamed "YOU HATE CHILDREN! YOU HATE CHILDREN!" until you shut up?

LSU will immediately:
Increase the ratio of minority professionals in every academic area.
Increase funding for minority programs and departments to positively affect the Black student experience.
Organize LSU resources specifically targeted towards minority students and workers dealing with mental health and trauma.
Address and correct issues of racism and discrimination on campus through the Student Code of Conduct and LSU Student Advocacy and Accountability.
Make timely statements condemning racism and injustice and implement policies clearly outlining the University’s standard of disapproval.
Include Black student representatives in University administration conversations that impact the student body.

I'm sure a bunch of white Germans in the early 1940s loved the idea of National Socialism. I mean you can rally and riot for national socialism without supporting Nazis right?

Letters, demanding funding cuts, stopping contributions - everything would help.
This disease is just going to spread to the other SEC schools unless the alumni stand up and say HELL NO.

BLM has a top advisor that is literally a terrorist. Only reason she is out is Clinton pardoned her on his first day. She bombed federal buildings and killed people. Weather Underground.
She's one of BLM's star advisors. She is a trained communist.
Now tell me again how BLM is all about social justice again.
