About a dozen black Towson University students held a protest in the office of Towson's Interim President Timothy Chandler.
According to the Towson University Towerlight:
Towson University Interim President Timothy Chandler has signed a document affirming his intention to actively address or advocate for a list of demands, brought to him by a group of black students, after over eight hours of negotiation and deliberation today.
“I want to thank you all for your terrific work on this,” Chandler said after he signed the document around 12:40 a.m. “As I said at the start, I admire your courage hugely, I admire your stick-to-itness. Now please don’t let this be the end of the conversation, please let this be the beginning of the conversation.”
The students came to the protest with a list of demands which they hoped to increase the number of tenured faculty members of color, adding cultural competency courses and more.
