The angry “white privilege” movement seems to have a grip on college and university campuses across the nation.

And now there appears to be a nationwide network to coordinate and support it.

Radical student groups from dozens of colleges – quite possibly organized and encouraged by radical faculty – have united to form a national organization called the “Black Liberation Collective.”

The organization clearly has a radical ideological foundation.

“Anti-Black racism is woven in the fabric of our global society,” says a statement published on BlackLiberationCollective.com. “It is an interlocking paradigm of institutions, attitudes, practices and behaviors that work to dehumanize and oppress Black people in order to benefit non-Black people, and specifically, to benefit and maintain white supremacy.

“When social systems are racialized by white supremacy, whiteness becomes the default of humanity and Blackness is stripped of its humanity, becoming a commodity, becoming disposable.”

But the Collective’s objectives go far beyond increasing public awareness of racism, or its definition of “white privilege.”

Member groups from at least 86 colleges have published long lists of bizarre and expensive demands for administrators to meet, often by very specific deadlines.

The groups demand that college officials and faculty members publicly acknowledge being racists. They also want colleges to offer free tuition, housing and transportation for students; establish exclusive and segregated facilities for black students; provide financial and other support for black students who are illegal aliens; provide special facilities for black transgender students; spend millions of dollars on special programs for black students; and provide higher salaries and more lucrative benefits for college and university employees.

The following is a sampling of thousands of Black Liberation Collective student demands.

Apologies, followed by more segregation

One broad objective of the group is the force university and college leaders to acknowledge their personal racism and apologize for the sins of past generations.

The Amherst College group wants “Cullen Murphy, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, to issue a statement of apology to students, alumni and former students, faculty, administration, and staff who have been victims of several injustices including but not limited to our institutional legacy of white supremacy, colonialism, anti-black racism, anti-Latino racism, anti-Native American racism, anti-Native/ indigenous racism, anti-Asian racism, anti-Middle Eastern racism, heterosexism, cis-sexism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, mental health stigma, and classism.”

At Guilford College, the Black Liberation Collective says “college administrators, professors, and staff must publicly acknowledge their racism, be it overt, covert, or passive. We suggest that every week a faculty member come forward and publicly admit their participation in racism inside the classroom via a letter to the editor in the Guilfordian.”

In the past, of course, civil rights activists rightfully demanded integration and inclusion into mainstream American society.

But the students in the Black Liberation Collective seem more intent on being segregated from other groups, with separate facilities and privileges.

“We demand a separate committee, made up of students selected by BSU, for Black Homecoming Week with the autonomy and power to schedule and hold events for Black Homecoming,” said the list produced by the liberation group at Eastern Michigan University.

“We demand support and funding for an Afro Room,” said the list published by the group from Cal State East Bay. “We would like to provide a safe space for African American students that would be operated and ran by the Black Student Government.”

One entry on the Emmanuel College list says “We demand a cultural space on campus dedicated specifically to students of color within the multicultural program, and that this space be within the Marion Hall Building and clearly marked. The naming of this space should be at the students’ discretion in order to avoid naming it after a white benefactor or person with bigoted beliefs.”

The Black Liberation Collective students at Cal State Los Angeles “demand the creation and financial support of a CSLA housing space delegated for Black students and a full time Resident Director who can cater to the needs of Black students.”

Free college and other expensive demands

Financial demands are common among the Black Liberation Collective groups.

Many groups in the collective would like to make college free, even though, of course, nothing is free. The tab would presumably be sent to taxpayers.

One listed “national demand” of the BLC is “free tuition for Black and indigenous students.”

At Duke University, the student group advocates for a policy by which “Federal, state, and university loans will be eliminated from financial aid packages and must be replaced with grants.”

The Duke group also demands that “Students of families who earn under $75,000 will not have to pay for tuition, room, or board.”

The BLC students seem to think that money grows on trees, and colleges and universities have unlimited access to funds.

Check out these demands from the group at Cal State Los Angeles.

“We demand a $30 million dollar endowment to help support Black students financially,”

“We demand $20,000.00 dollars per quarter allocated to the Black Student Union, an organization necessary for Black student development.”

“We demand that the Pan African Studies Department projects, programs, and initiatives be fully funded beginning with an additional $100,000.00 for the 2015/2016 academic year.”

“We demand $500,000 in funding for outreach programs that will focus on the recruitment of Black high school students as well as transfer students.”

The Colgate list offers this rather expensive idea:

“Because Financial Aid cannot remedy systemic socio-economic disparities, including access to transportation services, Colgate reinstate a free and safe transport system to and from Syracuse for the entire population at Colgate.”

The Dartmouth list envisions “creating a budget that subsidizes travel costs for students whose families cannot afford to come visit during graduation.” The students also want college administrators to “establish Japanese Language affinity housing, Korean Language affinity housing, and Hindi-Urdu Language affinity housing.”

High admission standards rank low with the Black Liberation Collective. The Duke group says that “reporting SAT/ACT scores on admissions applications must be optional.”

The Brandies University group wants to “increase the admittance of Black students via the general admission process to 15% within both undergraduate and graduate schools” – apparently with little consideration of academic qualifications.

Other Progressive political causes are also addressed. Perhaps the most common is support for illegal aliens who are enrolled as students, despite their unlawful presence in the nation.

The Dartmouth group wants administrators to “place all undocumented students in the domestic/U.S.A. applicant pool, not the international admissions pool.”

The group also demands that the college “release a statement of recognition on the existence of undocumented students at Dartmouth and support for their community” and “release a statement of assurance from the Office of Visa and Immigration Services (OVIS) stating that in case of deportation/ immigration proceedings undocumented students at Dartmouth will be defended, acknowledged, and supported by the college.”

There are also many demands on behalf of gay and transgender student populations.

“We demand that first year residence halls provide a comparable level of gender­neutral facilities to gendered facilities, in restroom facilities and living arrangements,” says the list from the Cal Polytechnic student group. “We demand the implementation of a Queer Studies minor. We demand the establishment of a Women’s, Gender, & Queer Studies major.”

The Dartmouth list demands that officials “incorporate into each department at least one queer studies class.”

There is one asterisk attached to the demands made on behalf of undocumented, gay and transgendered students. The national BLC website says the organization’s concern is specifically for “Black queer folks, gender non-conforming Black folks” and “Black folks that are undocumented.”

Where is all this coming from?

Freedom of speech and expression, once considered intellectual cornerstones of the college experience, are definitely not priorities for the Black Liberation Collective.

Free speech remains desirable if it’s consistent with the views of the students in the movement. Otherwise it’s simply “hate speech” that must be banned.

“We want a public commitment from the Clemson University Administration to prosecute criminally predatory behaviors and defamatory speech committed by members of the Clemson University community (including, but not limited to, those facilitated by usage of social media),” one list says.

“We ask for stronger disciplinary action for hate speech of any kind,” the Colgate list says.

All of the above poses one lingering question: Are the students in the Black Liberation Collective coming up with all of these bizarre demands on their own, or are they influenced by thousands of radical, progressive, politically-motivated professors?

One clue is the presence of university employee labor demands on many lists of student demands.

For instance, the Duke group demands that the university “commit in writing to an immediate end to the union busting activities meant to intimidate non­ tenure-track faculty organizing a union, including but not limited to captive audience meetings, the maintenance of the “One-to-One” website, and emails meant to misinform and discourage organizing faculty.”

The Colgate list includes demands for the college to “increase wage and healthcare benefits (including lowering the cost of co-pays)” for employees and “pledge not to subcontract any more jobs.”

The Brandies University list demands that administrators “increase minimum wage for all hourly paid university employees by 15 percent.”
