Weeks of growing racial tensions at the University of Missouri culminated with the resignation of the university's president. A boycott from 30 members of the football team, who pledged to stop practicing and playing, along with student protests from colleges across the country were part of an effort to draw attention to racial issues on campuses everywhere. This hour, we're talking about the state of race relations on U.S. college campuses and diversity and inclusion at Ohio’s institutions.
Guests:
- Kim Brazwell, Special Assistant to the President for Diversity Initiatives at Columbus State Community College
- Sharon Davies, Executive Director of the Kirwan Institute at Ohio State
- Alwiyah Shariff, Coordinator for Ohio Student Association Civic Engagement
- Sarah Mamo, third-year OSU student and lead organizer for #OSU2Mizzou action
