Michigan black student union: ‘physical action’ if seven demands not met in one week

The Daily Caller reports:
Members of the University of Michigan Black Student Union said they would have to resort to “physical action” if a list of seven demands issued on Martin Luther King Day are not met within seven days, The Ann Arbor News reported.

“If negotiations are not complete we will be forced to do more, beginning to increase valiantly our activism for social progress and take physical actions on the University of Michigan’s campus,” said senior Shayla Scales to a group of students gathered on campus, according to the Ann Arbor News.

The seven demands, read aloud by an activist associated with the union after a speech by entertainer and activist Harry Belafonte, included calls for more control over the Black Student Union’s budget, more housing for lower-income students, a new multicultural student center, the requirement of classes teaching all students about the historical treatment of minorities, access to emergency scholarships for minority students, increased exposure to library materials and a requirement that 10 percent of the campus be represented by black students.

An institution financed by coercion is threatened with violence! At least Shayla Scales isn't a hypocrite: she's doesn't believe in contracts, voluntary cooperation, and peace. How un-American. Should patriotic University of Michigan students sue University of Michigan for allowing domestic terrorists on campus which creates a hostile and threatening learning environment?????
