伯洛伊特学院管理人员, 这份文件强调了黑人学生和校友对这个校园的需求. 请仔细阅读并迅速回复.

开场白:
Black Students United (BSU) and our Black 校友 are coming together to reiterate the original Black Demands from 1969, 还有一些补充. 这些要求是由校园里的黑人学生提出的他们对伯洛伊特的要求. It is disappointing and frankly embarrassing that an institution that aspires to be anti-racist has failed to meet these demands by 2020. 在本文档中, we are publicly requiring that 十大菠菜台子 revisits our demands and demonstrates with full transparency how they plan to make sure that these issues are fixed.

Black people at 十大菠菜台子 have to carry the weight of state violence outside of school and continued racist psychological violence everyday on our campus. 这种心理暴力表现在很多方面. 第一个, 黑人学生被定义为学习的主体, 而不是让学生享有公平的学习环境. 第二个, hate crimes and hate acts occur annually and the College lacks long term solutions to disrupt and ultimately end the violence. The recurrences are frequent because of Beloit’s inability to reprimand individuals and legitimize our pain. 最后, there is a culture of tolerating anti-blackness for the sake of ‘professionalism’ that 需要 to be addressed. 例子包括, 公开纵容学生的种族主义言论/意识形态, 教师, 校友, 和教练, 因为害怕社会和经济报复. The culmination of these factors is compounded by the fact that Beloit is a residential campus. Black students are expected to move on to a small residential campus where the majority of the students are white and make it our home. The residential nature and size of 十大菠菜台子 forces that more responsibility be placed on the college to protect Black students so that we can feel safe in our home.

Racism didn’t begin three weeks ago, and this cultural movement is entirely led by black youth. 我们需要和解, 这样我们才能成为一个反种族主义的社区, 承认到目前为止贝洛伊特所有人都是同谋. 不做种族主义者不是一件被动的事情. 为了不成为种族主义者，我们需要积极地反对种族主义. 51年后，伯洛伊特学院仍然没有满足这些要求, 不断向他们的黑人学生证明, 教师, 工作人员, and the world that 十大菠菜台子 is complacent to the anti-black racism that occurs on our campus. 直到满足以下要求, 伯洛伊特学院不能自称是一个有抱负的“反种族主义机构”.

原始的要求:

原需求如下:

(1)非洲全学分课程 & 美国黑人历史, 艺术, 音乐, 哲学, 经济学, 政府, 黑人教授的文学和语言课.

(2) 为学生、教师和管理人员开设有关黑人概念的必修课程.

(3) 招生 program aimed at increasing the percentage of Black students to 10% of the student body.

(4)旨在将黑人教师比例提高到10%的招聘计划.

(5)为黑人学生保留的宿舍区域.

(6) 在我们当前课程的每个领域纳入黑人专家的相关贡献.

(7)黑人经济援助顾问.

(8)建立黑人文化中心和集会场所.

(9) Institution of the High Potential Education Program as approved by the 十大菠菜台子 Faculty.

(10) Revision of Area Exams to allow Black students to relate the required courses and readings to their cultural and social environment and that these be read and judged by Black professors.

(11) 修订高年级和低年级的公共课程，包括以黑人为重点的部分.

(12)维修工不再骚扰黑人学生, 接待员, 保安及其他学院人员.

1. 历史系全学分课程, 批判认同研究, 艺术, 音乐, 哲学, 经济学, 政治科学, 黑人教授教的英语.

a. 学院的大多数系都没有黑人教授, 还有那些能做到的, 只有一个教授.

3. 招生 program aimed at increasing the percentage of Black students to 10% of the student body.

4. 招聘计划旨在将教师中黑人的比例提高到10%

5. 为黑人学生保留的部分宿舍.

a. ResLife在为大一新生和室友配对时需要更加勤奋, 为了黑人学生的安全. 下面是一个示例，说明如果不进行这些考虑可能会发生什么.

其他要求:

除了这些具体的更新, we would like to introduce a few new demands that reflect the current political climate and will dramatically enhance the quality of life for Black students at Beloit.

1. 在健康中心安排一名黑人顾问, 在安排与上述辅导员的会面时，应优先考虑黑人学生, 辅导员来的时候提醒学生.

a. 黑人学生在心理健康方面的耻辱中挣扎, 以及与白人辅导员的联系. 请查阅更详细的示例.

b. Black students should be given resources to be able to pursue counseling during the space in time that it takes to find a permanent Black counselor outside of 十大菠菜台子. 有需要的人可以使用黑人顾问网络, and with our current worldwide situation of the COVID-19 pandemic it is an increasingly available resource virtually.

2. Update the website so the hate act policy reflects the revisions that Students for Inclusive Campus (SIC) developed in 2017. 在这样做的过程中，一定要把种族歧视列为仇恨行为，而不是偏见事件.

a. Being called the N-word is a hate act not bias incident and is an act of violence within itself. Bias incidents “do not involve violence or other conduct violating college policy” displaying a gap in the understanding of racial slurs as an enactment of psychological violence.

3. Complete compliance with the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) in relation to artifacts in the Logan museum.

结束语:

BSU需要在2020年秋季之前看到变化. 我们理解有些事情需要更长的时间来实施, 例如:雇用新的教职员工, 提高了黑人学生的比例, 改变我们的校园文化. 然而，这不应该再等50年. For Fall 2020 it is the expectation that the following demands will be met: implementation of mandatory race training for the parties mentioned, 毕业要求更新，包括性别, 比赛, 和权力, ResLife必须深入考虑安置黑人学生的程序, 仇恨法案政策必须更新, 我们需要一个地方让黑人学生在我们的房子外面聚集. 如文件所述, if anyone has any questions or concerns about any of the demands do not hesitate to contact BSU at beloitbsu@gmail.或Aryssa Harris网址:harrisad@521011.net. 自我教育永远不会嫌晚, 当你什么都不做时，问题就会出现, 拒绝承认自己过去的缺点.
Now is the time to do better and realize that we cannot truly Be All In until ALL of your students and 校友 feel safe and proud to come from this institution.

真诚地,

黑人学生联合会会员、执行理事和校友
