Oso planning to go pro
If you go throughout the university one would find short staffed departments. It’s a reality in higher Ed right now. My employer has 80 empty positions throughout the campus departments. Having to wait to get an appointment is not racism and MU has shown effort to address these grievances and shortcomings, but it’s never enough.
So we’re admitting we don’t know if there are legitimate concerns, but we’re going to slam the minorities for wining because they’ll never have enough? Interesting viewpoint.
Right. And we don't disagree. I think my main question is .. Has there been a time when a diverse student asked for assistance/tutoring/support/counselling and was told, sorry: no.Sure, maybe there's a line, maybe they need to make an appointment. And sure, if wait times are 3+ days, ok, that's a problem. I would bet the farm that's not the case, and any student, regardless of color, can get help in a reasonable timeframe.So .. what's the protest about, again?
More is never enough?
Some students have to pay a fine of $300, write an apology letter, complete 20 hours of community service and write an educational program on the demonstration policy. If a student is placed on probation, they will likely have to step down from any leadership role.
The Marquette University Police Department was present at the demonstration. This led to confusion about whether the police were called on the demonstration or not.University spokesperson Kevin Conway said since the convocation is a larger event, MUPD was already planned to attend the event.“I think it’s nothing from the usual that Marquette does,” Teresa Godinez, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences and MUSG legislative vice president said. “We came here peacefully demonstrating and protesting and here they call the police. We didn’t do anything violent so I don’t know why that was necessary and canceling the event … This isn't the end, this is just the beginning." so what if MUPD was present. maybe that was part of the reason the demonstration was as peaceful as it was reported. teresa godinez seems to take offense at this but states that "it's nothing unusual that MU does". so what's the big deal? if all hell breaks out for whatever reason, the same people who would question why MU wasn't prepared to protect or keep the area safe. so many things could have gone wrong, but thankfully did not as far as i am aware. for me, i would have welcomed the fact that security was present AND if this is just the beginning, they better expect at least the same amount of security if not more. the veiled threat as it seems, kind of encourages MU to be proactive for the protection of ALL involved. kudos to MU for getting that part right
Kimo and Company dropping the ban hammer on the disruptive students. Maybe they should become Scoop moderators.https://marquettewire.org/4082040/news/convocation-consequences/There was a student walk in support of the students this afternoon.The Provost released this in response -https://today.marquette.edu/2022/09/a-message-on-campus-climate-from-provost-ah-yun/
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
To follow this up, there is a lot more early intervention these days. Schools use programs to track everything from class attendance, to grade, to code of conduct...to even things like meal usage and failing to show up for a student group meeting. The goal is to identify students really early who might be in trouble. Professors, RAs, student employers, etc. are expected to be WAY more proactive than they were in our day. Very often the people who intervene for underrepresented students are those from the office that these students are protesting over. If that work has even a 1% impact on retention, you are talking about a low to mid six figure impact on the University's budget. On to of that, they plan programming, accept appointments, etc.Again, I have no idea what the staffing situation is at Marquette. But if you are going to recruit a significant number of underrepresented students, you are going to have to ramp up programming to make sure they are retained. As an admissions friend of mine once said, without it you are heating the house while keeping the windows open.
You really need to get out more. There are entire neighborhoods, small towns, trailer parks, where basic daily responsibilities aren't being met. Bad parenting and lack of life skills are being passed from generation to generation. Anything that breaks that cycle in a positive way should be celebrated.
Oh good God!If a person can't handle basic daily responsibility -- eating, going to class, making grades, doing the homework -- then they truly don't belong on their own. I get there's always going to be someone who needs help but to build whole programs and intervention efforts around monitoring basic living is just a bit much.Gosh, the nanny"state" is becoming a bit much.
I wondered if MU would take this route. While almost all universities including private ones guarantee first amendment rights including right to protest, they do have a limited ability to control when and where protests happen. Almost every university has some version of a "disruptive activity" rule which is there to keep a protest from happening in the middle of a class. I think using this rule to protect convocation is a legally safe one. I wasn't sure if MU would use it because sometimes punishing protesters can cause a public backlash and some universities decide it's not worth the headache.

They didn't call security because of the protest.
Stick to teeth.
i don't know where you get your chutzpah from, but for a "professional" taxicab driver, you sure do think your $hit don't stinkok reeko, i'll save you the time- 10/10 a smiley face, a squish ball and a trophy
You need an intervention. Again, stick to teeth.
i think you and reeko need to get a room
