With spring semester starting, feelings of unrest continue to resonate with some students.

The aftermath of student protests regarding the Michael Brown shooting and George Will’s commencement speech led some students to believe the university isn’t hearing them.

Journalism senior Rashad Timmons said mobilization and activism have always propelled the social, political and academic atmosphere of universities.

“With regards to the university not meeting student demands, the most honest response I can say to that, is that students will continue to mobilize and stand for what we believe and uphold restorative justice,” said Timmons, the president of the Black Student Alliance.

This Thursday, students have a chance to be heard by one another. A town hall meeting will be held to discuss students’ need to be able to better their university.

The meeting will be 8-10 p.m. in A20 Wells Hall. Students will gather to discuss future plans, voice concerns and find possible solutions for all students on campus.

Supply chain management sophomore Steve Cleaves-Jones Jr. is a member of the BSA and said this upcoming semester BSA plans to build a strong basis and a stronger bond with the entire student body.

“We want to see that the university really cares about the black students on campus,” Cleaves-Jones said. “I want to feel like I can be in any environment and not looked at differently.”

Third year law student Emily Gillingham said she believes students are hearing conflicting messages from administration on the sexual assault issue.

“On one hand they’re telling us that they take it seriously and want the campus to be an environment where sexual assault isn’t tolerated or accepted in the first place,” Gillingham said. “On the other hand the resources for survivors of sexual assault aren’t protecting them or have an unreasonably long wait.”

Gillingham also said that for the university to have invited George Will as a commencement speaker contradicts their message.

History senior Patrice Wright said the Black Student Alliance will participate in the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Leadership Conference on campus later this month.

”We are assigned to Youth and Revolutionary Movement workshop,” Wright said. “We will have discussions with youth about Dream Defenders and events in Ferguson, and will also speak about the role youth played in activism.”

Timmons said that protesting incessantly against state violence upon black bodies will continue. He also said rising against pervasive nature of sexual violence will also continue.

“Student power will continue,” Timmons said. “And each day we grow together.”
