Benedict students were told to stay in their dorms while President Donald Trump is on campus, students told The State.
“Once the president arrives on campus, students are pretty much being told to stay in our dorms,” said Kevin Reese, a senior marketing major at Benedict College.

“The campus was closed and streets surrounding the campus were shut down to all vehicle traffic from 1:30 p.m. -3:00 p.m. Faculty, staff, and student who were on campus were asked to stay inside, but if anyone needed to go to work or to another building, it was not problem,” Hunter said.
Benedict sophomore Nia Byas also said the campus was on “lockdown.” Other local media outlets have quoted Benedict College students saying they were asked not to leave their dorm rooms during the president’s visit. The State spoke to student protesters who also said they were told to stay in their dorms from 3-4 p.m.

Can't have those "students of color" wandering around the campus while Trump is there, you know. Better if they stay inside and out of sight, see....
