"What do we want? Equity! When do we want it? Now!"

The voices of more than 200 students, faculty and community members echoed throughout Johnson Hall on Wednesday as they marched through the building in protest of discriminatory treatment in the College of Education.

The protesters assembled in the COE's quad before marching around campus. They delivered demand letters to COE Dean Marty Kaufman and headed to Johnson Hall to deliver letters to Vice President for Academic Affairs Lorraine Davis and Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity Greg Vincent.

The protesters alleged the college has violated its own policies regarding the infusion of diversity in the curriculum and that professors have subjected students to discriminatory treatment. <snip>
