OU President Joseph Harroz Jr. sent a letter to the OU community addressing the incident by announcing plans to institute a mandatory “diversity, equity, and inclusion” training for all faculty, staff, and members of the administration. The training will address “implicit bias.”
Students from the Black Emergency Response Team (BERT) at OU started a sit-in and hunger strike to protest the university’s response.
The group’s list of demands includes the resignation of OU Provost Kyle Harper, mandatory equity training, creating a “Multicultural Center” for “marginalized groups on campus,” which, as the Norman Transcript noted, would include a Popeyes chicken restaurant.
In the demand letter, members of BERT also claim they will not leave the sit-in until they receive Harper’s resignation letter and a contract from Harroz that includes a detailed timeline to adhere to these demands.
A reporter on Twitter, Emma Keith, reported that OU is working to include BERT’s demands into the new diversity plan. Keith tweeted a screenshot from an OU email media request.
Flores was one of a number of students, the College Fix reported, who spent the day after election day in 2016, wandering around campus shouting anti-Trump slogans. At some point the "Library Walk" event became a larger protest and the group of students stormed a freeway on-ramp in an attempt to block traffic to make a statement against the president. Flores was one of the students who locked arms on the freeway, but a car swerved around the blockade and hit her, breaking her leg and pelvis.
Now Flores is saying her injuries are the school's fault because the school knew about the protest and supported it, and failed to tell Flores and her fellow students to rethink their idea of blocking traffic on one of the San Diego area's busiest thoroughfares, as though the idea wasn't clearly terrible from the beginning.
"The complaint additionally claims that UCSD is liable for Flores’ injuries because it allowed the protesters to enter the freeway and failed to warn Flores that there was no one providing security for the demonstrators along the freeway even though campus police officers were present during the protests on campus and shut down the surrounding streets," the College Fix reports.
She's also suing the state of California for failing to act quickly to shut down traffic.

In a relationship, you don’t deserve more than you give.
What you receive in a relationship is a reward for giving something to the relationship.
There’s no room for an entilement mentality in a relationship.
If an entitlement mentality is allowed, the passage of time would cause the beneficiary to show ingratitude for the good they receive..
Why should…
Millionaire Manchin Quick To Put Forward Unproven "Entitlement Mentality" To Cut Infrastructure Bill That Could Lift People Out Of Poverty...
Moderate Democrat Joe Manchin spelled out his opposition to Biden's spending plans on Thursday, warning against an 'entitlement mentality' a
BAFMnotes: How Dare He? Giving A Lame Excuse Such As 'Entitlement Mentality'To Block Long Overdue Reform And Support That Biden's Infrastructure Bill Needed To Give A Leg Up For The Working Class That Repeatedly Has Bailed-Out The Rich And Corporate America.
Does He Have A Crystal Ball Or Possess Unusual Insight Into The Psyche Of The Lower Classes To Come Up With This Preposterous Drivel?
His Patronizing Attitude Must Come From His Current Elevated Status Of Wealth & Position. A Position That Has Allowed Him To Sellout His Constituents To Enrich His Daughter By $31 Million From The Sale Of A Generic Drug Manufacturer Taking Away Living Wage Jobs From West Virginia To Ship Them Overseas-- Making The U.S. Even More Dependent. His Rationale For His Stand Now On A Bill He Previously Voted For Is Totally Bogus!
"Manchin told reporters on Capitol Hill that he could only back a spending bill that cost $1.5 trillion and demanded that key welfare provisions be means tested.
'I cannot accept our economy or basically our society moving towards an entitlement mentality ... that you're entitled,' he said."
“This is so toxic. UWPD is proudly displaying the racist blue lives matter flag and an officer is prominently showcasing a gun on his vest. Blue Lives matter is bullshit because an officer can always take their uniform off,” one Twitter user wrote in response to the UWPD's post.
Another reply stated, “this was a funny story until I saw the blue lives matter flag... It's pretty much an anti black lives matter flag. A sign of racism and conservatism. A fitting metaphor for a police department I suppose.”
“The fact that UWPD not only displays the thin blue line flag in their office but prominently includes it in the center of a photo-op really concerns me,” Associated Students of Madison Chair Matthew Mitnick told student paper The Badger Herald.
“UWPD knew very well the undertones this tweet would convey, and used it in a way to denounce student activism for Black lives.”
College Republicans Communications Director and student Keely Collins told Campus Reform that the group stands behind the campus police.
“The College Republicans at UW-Madison support the UWPD and value their presence on campus. Police officers put their lives on the line every day for all of us to live and work in safe communities and we are all so fortunate,” Collins said.
“The flag with the blue stripe is an important symbol to the police force and has been a part of police imagery for decades,” Collins added. “It is important to note most groups have symbols/imagery, one example being the white fist for the BLM movement.”
“The UW College Republicans join in condemning racism and prejudice in all its forms. The blue line does not have any racial connotation or prejudice behind it. It solely denotes the line between violent chaos and peace in society. Therefore, the UWPD should absolutely be able to display this important symbol in their office without facing backlash from students and faculty.”
UWPD Chief Kristen Roman published a statement on the school's website regarding the flag in the picture, stating that it was a gift and that it exemplifies commitment to the public. . . .
Campus Reform previously reported on several instances of liberal bias and abuse at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, including the student government voting to remove a Lincoln statue, and a professor stating that bringing college football back is racist.
Food stamps glitch is a glimpse into pandemonium to come
Food stamps glitch is a glimpse into pandemonium to come
Under the Obama presidency, the number of Americans receiving food stamps (now called Electronic Benefits Transfer or EBT) exploded. Today, one in five U.S. households are on food stamps. Worse still, we are taking two steps back for every step forward: For every new job that’s been created, two new recipients (let’s call them food-stampers) are added to the food stamps dole. Given our exploding…
