Black Students Demand University Evict Students From Frat House and Turn It Over to Them
Black students at Cornell University demanded that the school evict students from a fraternity house and turn it over to them in a September document sent to administrators.
The student activists also want mandatory identity coursework for students and professors, according to The Cornell Daily Sun. The demands come the same month that Cornell closed its Psi Upsilon frat indefinitely for an incident in which a student believed to be a member of the frat assaulted a black student and called him the n-word.
“We demand that the Chi Chapter of Psi Upsilon Fraternity, Inc. at Cornell University is permanently banned from campus, in addition to their letters being taken off of the fraternity house,” student group Black Students United said in its demands. “We also demand that all students involved in this heinous hate crime be expelled from this university immediately.”
Cornell previously revoked its recognition of the fraternity in May 2016, asserting that it had violated a suspension by hosting a party. Former Psi Upsilon president, Wolfgang Ballinger, also pled guilty to forcible touching in 2017.
