Clemson faculty and staff: A group of faculty is planning to put a full page ad in the Tiger expressing faculty and staff support for the student demands. If you are interested in signing, email Todd May at [email protected] before Jan. 23. He is asking for a $10 contribution for the cost of the ad from those who can afford it. The ad reads: We, the undersigned faculty and staff members, endorse the demands of the Coalition of Concerned Students: 1. We want President Clements to immediately make a public statement from Clemson University—to students, alumni, faculty, staff, administration and media—denouncing both the Crip’mas Party and hateful statements from members of the Clemson Family via social media (Yik Yak, Facebook, Twitter). Additionally, we want a public commitment from the Clemson University Administration to prosecute criminally predatory behaviors and defamatory speech committed by members of the Clemson University community (including, but not limited to, those facilitated by usage of social media). 2. We want the construction of a multi-cultural center, a safe space for students from underrepresented groups. 3. We want more funding for organizations whose primary constituencies are of under-represented groups (international students, students of color, LBGTQA community, etc.). 4. We want the percentage of people of color in faculty and administration increased. 5. We want the names of offensively named buildings, ex. Tillman Hall, changed. 6. We want incentivized diversity training for administrators and faculty. 7. We want diversity included as a Clemson University core value, starting with a diversity/university history component added to the CU1000 course.
