                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;
&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                  <text>The Black Student Union (BSU) at UB was founded in 1967 and recognized by the Student Association in 1968. In 1969, it counted 1,000 members.&#13;

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

                    <text>Black Explosion ‘Rebirth’ educates and entertains
52nd-annual Black
Explosion shows
appreciation for Black
Panther Party, highlights
student fashion and talent
Alexandra Moyen
Senior News Editor

[Spectrum 3/9/20]

Flute Fingers, a performer at Saturday’s
Black Explosion fashion show, approached
the stage on a hoverboard, playing Drake
and Future’s “Life is Good” on his flute.
Soon after, the petformer wound up

serenading an audience member with a
flute rendition of Juvenile’s “Back That
AzzUp.”
It was his specialty and like many others
performing or showcasing their fashion,
the Black Student Union’s annual event
was his platform.
BSU held its 52nd annual Black Explo
sion with this year’s theme being “Re
birth;” a theme which highlighted the
cultural significance of the Black Panther
Party. Roughly 600 UB students and com
munity members attended the fashion
show at the Marriott Hotel. Social me
dia influencer Cleotrapa hosted the show

with a special appearance by rapper Sleepy
Hallow. The show had four fashion lines
and several performances, paying homage
not only to the Black Panther Party, but
to black culture as well. Models displayed
a couture ranging from streetwear from
designers like Faceless, to formal African
wear from the designer Glenroy March.
Flute Fingers, formally known as An
war “Notes” Overton, was just one of
the night’s showmen and has earned over
15,000 followers on Instagram for his art
istry. Overton plays his flute at weddings
and parties with genres such as hip-hop,
soca and R&amp;B.
“My performance was just a
little razzle dazzle of the flute, I
had my dancer Tyreke with me
and we just came out and just
wanted to” give like a little taste
of what we do,” Overtone said.
“I wanted to do some piano and
guitar, but I don’t know if the
[audience] was ready for that.”
Students had the opportunity
to show off their talent through
rap, poetry and dance through
out the night. Audience mem
bers were excited to see step
performances from UB’s Delta
Sigma Theta sorority and other
Greet letters. Additionally, au
dience members praised UB’s
step team, UBST, and its perfor
mance highlighting the unfair
treatment against black people
within the prison system.
In between performances, in
dependent designers displayed
their colorful and diverse de
signs.
March’s pieces were each
from different collections. He
said his white outfits, which
were adorned with feathers like
a “swan,” were from his White
Swan collection, while models

wearing clothes from the Midnight Rose
collection wore pieces dripped in red and
black. One model came out wearing a long
red evening gown with a thigh-high slit,
completed with a black tassel around her
waist. March then presented his Sankofa
line inspired by African tribal garb.
“Sankofa means looking back, so I used
African prints and then a little tribal. You
see the details in the pants and the jackets,”
March said.
March said working with BSU’s models
was an “interesting” experience compared
to the models he works with in countries
such as France, Africa, Australia and Colombia.

BSU President Florence Ayeni said put
ting the event together was a “learning ex
perience” and a “journey.” With the help
of SA and BSU staff, however, she said
the experience had more “good times”
than bad. The journey paid off because
students eagerly swarmed around the
stage when rising New York rapper Sleepy
Hallow appeared.
“We had a certain budget that we want
ed to allocate to artists and a lot of our
students just wanted someone local that
they actually listened to or kind of related
with more,” Ayeni said. “So it was kind of
an easy selection.”
Nelaje Branch, a junior computer sci
ence and statistics major, said she thought
the show was “super dope” and liked how
each performance showed not just Ameri
can black culture but Carribean culture as
well. Although she liked each of the per
formances, her favorite performance was
from dance group Crossfire.
“I think Crossfire absolutely mur
dered it, like they gave you not only Afro
beats, but contemporary. They gave you
soul, they gave you majorettes from the
HBCU’s, they gave you a little piece of
every [thing],” Branch said.
Dejah Luke, president of Crossfire and
senior psychology major, said the team
was inspired by other dancers, particularly
Beyonce, since it was “basically a Beyonce
tribute.”
Sedahri Young, senior communication
major and a dancer for Crossfire, said
when coming up with a dance, the team
wanted to give the audience an “HBCU
Homecoming vibe” and embody female
empowerment.
“We changed the game, women have
made a change over the years,” Luke said.
“This was about the Black Panther move
ment, the Renaissance and we females had
come to show out.”
Ugochinyere Ejiogu, senior biostatis
tics major and one of the performers, de
scribed the show as being the “epitome”
of “being black.” She said her favorite part

was performing with the Greek life com
munity.
“We’re members of Delta Sigma Theta
sorority, Incorporated, so joining all the
other "Divine Nine’ Greek organiza
tions and coming together to do a step
and stroll together was very powerful to
show the whole community.”
The Greek organization’s performance
seemed to be a fan favorite for many au
dience members because they said Greek
life with an “HBCU vibe” isn’t as com
mon on campus.
“Greek life also represents some
source of unity within the African Amer
ican community,” Ayeni said. “I felt like
that just really showed us what brother
hood and sisterhood look like within our
community and what unity looks like
within our community.”

Students celebrate Black
Solidarity Day with Unity
Rally, Black Business
Expo
Jacklyn Walters
Managing Editor

[spectrum 11/7/19]

Students are embracing their culture,
their history and highlighting black excel
lence across campus this week.
The Black Student Union organized
events for Black Solidarity Week and cel
ebrated the 52nd Black Solidarity Day
with its annual Black Business Expo and
Unity Rally Monday. Roughly 40 students
marched from the Student Union down
the academic spine, carrying signs and
chanting “Say it loud, I’m black and I’m
proud,” “No justice, no peace, no racist
police” and “BSU.” Carlos Russell started
Black Solidarity, Day in 1969, bringing Af
rican-American communities together on
the Monday before Election Day to dis
cuss voting and combating racial inequal
ity.
BSU has celebrated it yearly since.
Olaide Lemoru, a junior sociology and
health and human services major, said cel
ebrating black excellence is crucial because
of the systemic disadvantages black stu
dents face.

Students at the unity rally on the academic spine during Monday’s Black Solidarity Day.

“The unity of black [people] is very im
portant because we have the odds stacked
against us by society, by institutions,”
Lemoru said. “The only people that are
going to support us are ourselves. We have
to stick together, help uplift and motivate
each other.”
Monday’s events were only the begin
ning, as BSU hosted a Family Feud event
Tuesday and unity poduck Wednesday,
along with various club collaborations in
cluding an Afro-Latinx identity discussion
with PODER Latinos Unidos. BSU will

host a reparation conversation with the
Carribbean Student Association Thursday
and a women’s appreciation “Brunch N’
Vibes”’ Sunday.
BSU President Florence Ayeni said she
hopes the events will spread self-aware
ness and educate students.
“A lot of our students don’t get educat
ed on the history they need to know. Espe
cially within UB, I feel like we still struggle
to get these Students to really know their
history,” Ayeni said. “We want to remind

students that they’re powerful, they’re a
force to be reckoned with.”
The Black Business Expo gave student
entrepreneurs the opportunity to show­
case their work in the SU, with a table
dedicated to each student’s business and
products.
Lemoru emphasized the importance of
black entrepreneurs and said designers of
ten profit off black culture.
“We’re [promoting] black businesses
because other businesses steal our culture

of

Monday's Black Solidarity Day event.

and this is a way we can own our culture
and put it out for our own groups,” Lem
oru said. “We want to amplify our culture,
to own it and exemplify our roots.”
Ayeni said BSU gives students a plat
form to market themselves and empowers
them to use their voice.
“[We’re] empowering each other to do
better things, to be greater people,” Ayeni
said. “A lot of people don’t have that cour
age to walk around and march but with
BSU they have it. They feel at home.”

                    <text>Black Student Union e-board to use
history to enrich the present
Introducing the students
leading BSU for the 2019­
20 academic year
Benjamin Blanchet
Engagement Editor [Spectrum 7/1/19]

The Black Student Union is UB’s largest
minority club and one of its oldest.
With thousands of students taking part
over its 50-plus year history, BSU’s incoming
e-board hopes to both retain and grow
its reach in the year ahead. The Spectrum sat
down with its four student leaders to dis
cuss what’s ahead, why they joined and the
value of their organization in 2019.
Florence Ayeni
BSU president
Senior, health and human services
major
Ayeni admits that when she initially
joined BSU, she did not know the organi
zation had such a prominent role on cam
pus. When she ran for publicity coordina
tor during her freshman year, she wore
jeans and flats.
It didn’t work in her favor.
But she said she needed the experience,
even if it was an awkward way to start.
“Even after that, when people get de
nied a position, usually they stop support
ing the club but for me, it was about gain
ing more insight, more information and
knowledge from such a club and relating
to them,” Ayeni said.
She stuck with the club, drawing closer
to BSU thanks to members like former
BSU president Samirra Felix. Ayeni was
inspired by members speaking knowledgably

about black history during
general body meetings as well as BSU’s
community impact, including rallies and
statements members made to past UB
presidents.
“I feel like it’s really important that we
carry on that same type of spirit, and it’s
important that we touch the African
really
American community on this
campus,” Ayeni said.
One of the ways she hopes
to do that is through being an
advocate for mental health, like
through her Creative Minds
event in New York City which
she organized in June. She rec
ognizes that mental health is an
important aspect of students’
daily lives, something she saw
firsthand with her brother who
has schizophrenia.
On top of her work as a stu
dent leader, Ayeni is an entre
preneur who oversees a num
ber of different organizations,
including Go With The Flo,
which has campaigned against African
American teenagers being victims of gun
violence.
Glenn Brown
BSU vice president
Junior, political science major
It’s important to Brown that he contin
ues BSU’s legacy.
One of his goals as the organization’s
vice president is for students to recognize
their cultural history as well as BSU’s his
tory.
“Next year, we want to give people that
visual thinking of, 'how do we make the
next steps happen,”’ Brown said. “One
key is to give them a context of what we
were able to do in the past, give them a
context of how they can be more active
as an individual rather than just speaking
about it. That is what BSU was founded
on and that’s what we want to carry on as
well.”
Part of this drive for Brown is so he,
too, can analyze and speak about his own
history.
“Growing up, my parents always taught
me or sat me down to just speak about my
history of being black...” Brown said. “But
it’s hard to be able to get somewhere if
you’re not able to see it in yourself, so BSU
is that ability to do that. We have alumni
we could use to show where you could be

�and how you could do that as well."
He said he doesn’t just want his club to
target black students, but students of oth
er races to “analyze the history.”
“We’ve always been taught the struggle
of being black, period, and not about the
aspect of the empowerment or how you
could be able to take that struggle and lead
it to something else,” Brown said. “We
don’t want to move backward, we want to
move forward, and that’s the key we want
to [use] next year.”

Awa Magassouba
BSU treasurer
Sophomore, psychology, sociology,
criminology major
Magassouba is in her second year and,
in the future, wants to help people with
mental illnesses, as she sees problems in
the way the medical industry treats them.
She said her decision to run for an e
board position came “out of nowhere.”
But after “ups and downs” during the
club’s election process, she discovered the
uplifting nature of the club throughout its
history is something she also stands for.
“I’m always looking to help someone,
I’m always looking to have unity, I don’t
like segregation or anyone not being wel
come,” Magassouba said.
“I joined because I feel like this is a re
ally good organization and I would love to
add on to the legacy that it has. I’d love to
be able to shed light on the problems that
we face now in today’s society and what we
faced previously. Like Flo and Glenn said,
the history is the most important aspect
of BSU because without the history, there
would be no BSU.”
She recognizes that BSU plays a big role
at UB and wants to take part in the club’s
efforts to educate the student body.
“I’m a person that believes every day
you should learn something new and I
honestly feel like there’s a lack of educa
tion in terms of diversity on this campus,”
Magassouba said. “I feel like if people
don’t know about it, we can’t really be up
set but more so we should educate them
for the future.”
Varnel Fleurisma
BSU secretary
Fifth year senior, public health major
Fleurisma has explored UB’s BSU ar
chives on the fourth floor of Capen Hall.
And history has stood out to him.
He recalls discovering a file that de
scribed a BSU president walking to cam
pus in the 70s. The student, Fleurisma
said, was stopped by campus police who
asked for his ID. The student didn’t provide

it to officers, who later arrested the
student on the grounds that he either re
sisted arrest or attacked officers.
Fleurisma said the charges were dropped
at the time but he drew parallels to the sit
uation in the '70s to arrests by police of
ficers happening today.
“This is being seen more because of so
cial media. ... It’s things like that where I
feel [like] law enforcement takes advantage
of that authority and there’s no repercus
sions for it,” Fleurisma said. “Every day on
Twitter, I see another black male or a mi
nority being abused by law enforcement,
they’re the people that are supposed to
protect us but we’re afraid of them at the
same time.”
He said the archive took him back to
Trayvon Martin’s death in 2012, where the
justice system and law enforcement per
sonally failed him. Fleurisma said UPD
hasn’t really been a problem for the com
munity but if an arrest or tragedy were to
happen at UB, he recognizes the power
BSU has to be that voice just as it was in
the 70s.
“I feel like that’s something we all can
be, I feel like every person on the e-board
has a strong, powerful voice as an individ
ual and when we come together, we can be
heard,” Fleurisma said.
Fleurisma is also passionate about
spreading awareness for various resources
and departments on campus.
He said he feels like a lot of resources
on campus are “word of mouth,” like In
ternational Student Services or the Aca
demic Resource Center.
“Yes, [these resources are] posted in a
pamphlet somewhere or it’s in a packet
during orientation but, let’s be honest, how
many people read that little pamphlet or a
page your RA gives you?” Fleurisma said.
He said he’s inspired by African Ameri
can Studies professors such as James Pap
pas and Y.G. Lulat and sees the way they
harvest history in their classrooms.
“I kind of find it funny that during Black
History Month, UB [was not] marketing
the African American Studies [program],
why is that not something that’s being
done?” Fleurisma said.
He said UB needs to do more for its
programs, but it’s up to students to put the
pressure on it to do more.

concludes year’s events with
Small Keels BBQ [Spectrum 5/6/19]
BBQ in honor of past
members brings out over
100 students

Editorial Editor

BSU hosted its annual Small Keels BBQ
outside the Student Union on Sunday, cel
ebrating the conclusion of the academic
year and the lives of two former club
members.
At least 100 students celebrated the
warm weather through music, food and
games. The BBQ brings both past mem
bers and current members to campus to
celebrate the club’s conclusion for the
year, as the annual BBQ’s name honored
two late BSU members, Damian Small and
Trevor Keel, since the mid-1990s.
“This event is really important to BSU
not just as an end of the year event but
just to commemorate life in general, not

to be morbid, but it might be your last
[BBQ],” said Ayenoumou Barry, BSU’s
president. “This event holds a very special
place in our hearts, it’s one of my favorite
events with great vibes and a lot of people
come out.”
The event’s name honors Small, a Guya
nese international student at UB, who died
on the day of BSU’s BBQ in 1993. Small
died in a car crash on Kensington Avenue
which also killed two people in a separate
vehicle, basketball star Kevin Roberson
and his sister Michelle Dixie, according to
The Buffalo News. And Keel, who the event
also honors, was shot and killed in Buf
falo’s east side in 1993,. according to the
Democrat &amp; Chronicle.
Past BSU members, such as James Mint
er and Paul Henderson, told The Spectrum
they remember commemorating the two
in the ‘90s and are happy that the annual
BBQ is still going on. BSU releases bal
loons in their honor and asks members to

remember the lives
of those they lost
over the past year.
In addition to
the memorial, BSU
members said the
BBQ has been a
way to get current
and outgoing mem
bers together to
culminate the year’s
achievements.

Edwards said a new UB Pathways crite

"When it came to the inception of the
African Americans Studies program, BSU
played an integral part in it,” Edwards said.
“It makes sense that we continue that con

discusses support for

Black Student Union members dis
cussed systemic racism, representation in
faculty and UB’s treatment of the African
and African American Studies program at
its general body meeting Wednesday.
BSU members and students talked
throughout the meeting about the cur
rent state and future of the AAS program.
Roughly 40 club members and students at
tended to voice concerns over the number
of black faculty and AAS classes offered
in the UB curriculum.
The meeting started with a vote on a
number of topics. No one at the meeting
voted that UB has “properly invested” or
“cared” for its AAS program.
Fatima Nor, a senior psychology major
and AAS minor, said she was concerned
with the “very low” number of black en
rollment at UB and the school’s “failure”
to reach out to its minority population.
“They are not hiring black faculty or
teachers. It’s getting to the point where
it comes down to student activism,” Nor
said. “We need to speak up for the things
that are important to us, so [BSU] coming
together is the first step toward that.”

can American Studies course. A number
of students said they were discouraged by
their advisers to take AAS classes, with one
student saying they were told the classes
“had no meaning.”
"When I was [submitting applications]
to UB, the [university was] speaking about
diversity a lot, showing how diverse UB is,”
said Velldreice Cadely, freshman chemical
engineering major.
“I get here now and I am trying to take
an AAS class and it’s not the same at all.
The whole engineering department, I
don’t feel they care about black students.”
Cadley said her adviser didn’t want her
to take any AAS courses because “it had
nothing to do with” her major. Cadley said
being around people who look like her

to take an AAS course. The room voted
in unanimous favor oh making an AAS

“well- rounded,” they would include AAS
courses.
Multiple attendees said a lack of black
faculty does not encourage success for
black students on campus. BSU reported
that, by Fall 2020, there will. only be two
black faculty members.

[Spectrum 2/14/19]

The Black Student Union, African Stu
dent Association and the Student Associa
tion are looking to spread awareness for
Black History Month this February.
BSU President Ayenoumou Barry said
club leaders said they want to make Black
History Month a bigger deal at UB with
different mixers and exhibits. The club

hosts celebrations each year, but this time
BSU wanted to do something different and
reach out to those in the community. BSU
plans to work with Medaille College and
their after-school program that helps high
school students reach the college level.
“We’re really trying to have a panel with
[Medaille College students], to meet with
the kids and maybe even bring our gen
eral body along with us or have it here. ...
This Black History Month will be focused
on a month of service to the community,”
Barry said.
BSU is also looking to do more com
munity outreach by hosting a dinner event
called “Cooking with BSU” and volunteering

with the homeless in Buffalo, accord
ing to Barry. The club is also hoping to
organize local trips.
BSU recently moved their planned trip
to the Niagara Falls’ Underground Rail
road Heritage Center to March. Barry
said she was upset that their trip had to be
pushed past Black History Month.
“Buffalo has a lot of history within it. A
lot of students don’t realize that there’s a
lot of sites around Buffalo that were a part
of the Underground Railroad,” Barry said.
ASA’s goal is to have general body meet
ings and collaborate with other black UB
clubs to bring awareness to black culture,
according to ASA president Aniya Turner.
“Our focus is that we partner with a lot
of black clubs on campus, whether it’s
the National Society of Black Engineers,
BALSA, which is a black law chapter here
and also BSU,” Turner said.
She also hopes to have a panel with each
club to talk about the struggles black peo
ple face in the U.S.
SA is holding events every Wednesday
for Black History Month, as well.
SA held a Black History Month exhibit
on Feb. 13. On Feb. 20, SA will have a
mixer and dance workshop and it will also
hold a “Soul Food Luncheon” on Feb. 27.
ASA will also take part in the Black His
tory Month Mixer and Dance Workshop.
The club’s African dance team will teach
traditional dances and inform the public

about African culture.
The UB Libraries will also have a cus
tomized section of books for Black His
tory Month in Lockwood Library.
The display features a range of books
about the civil rights movement, black
female leaders, autobiographies of civil
rights leaders such as Malcolm X and oth
er 1960s-era Civil Rights events. A picture
of civil-rights activist Angela Davis can be
seen by the selection of books. Davis will
speak at UB through the SA-sponsored
Distinguished Speakers Series on Feb. 27.
Turner said people will recognize Black
History Month as something important
because UB community members are tak
ing the initiative to celebrate it.
“I see an increase in effort and in raising
awareness for Black History Month and
this is just a start with their Black History
Wednesdays coming up,” Turner said. “I
feel like that is a good way to start.”
Turner said that she has seen an increase
in Black History Month interest compared
to previous years.
“I feel like they didn’t start before, but
this year they’re starting to and that’s a
good step in the right direction.”

celebrates Black History Month
Members promote black history, culture — 'notjust one month'

A win

UB’s Black Student Union
(BSU) has big plans for Black
History Month, including birth
day celebrations for Abraham
Lincoln and Frederick Douglass,
two pioneers for black equality.
BSU has several events lined
up, such as a leadership confer
ence for local high school stu
dents, its annual health fair with
local health organizations, com
munity service events that will
be held every other weekend and
a Valentine’s Day candy-gram
and raffle, according to Chris
tina Dunn, an activities coordi
nator for the club and a sopho
more sociology and communica
tion major.
To conclude the month’s fes
tivities, the club will continue its
tradition of hosting Black Ex
plosion.
“It’s a fashion and cultural
show where we take any theme
or idea that we want and run
wild with it,” said President Greg
Bellonton, a senior psychology
major. “The point of this year’s
fashion show is to readjust the
focus to show that black is beau
tiful by taking the same ideas
[that society has deemed beauti
ful] and putting our passion into
it and showing that black is beau
tiful.”
This year, BSU is switching
things up by holding Black Ex
plosion on March 1 instead of in
February.
“It’s really important to realize
that black history is not just one
month,” Dunn said. “You should
know your culture and your peo
ple and the way that we appreci
ate our history.”
BSU holds meetings every
Wednesday at 5 P.M. in 307 Stu
dent Union and welcomes peo
ple of every ethnicity and cul
ture.

(Top left to bottom right) BSU leaders Sean Galette, publicity coordinator, Robin
Murray, vice president, Donald Kelly, Black Men United co-chair, Alana Barricks,
community service chair, and Greg Bellanton, president, have several events ar
ranged for Black History Month.

"You don’t have to be black or
from the Caribbean or Jamaica
to come to our events,” Bellon
ton said. “We can relate to every
body in America and throughout
the world on different topics.”
Anyone in the UB community
can join BSU’s progressive think
ing by becoming a part of the
club, Bellonton said. Even stu
dents from other schools, such
as Buffalo State College and Erie
Community College, attend the
meetings, Dunn said.
Vice President Robin Mur
ray said the club focuses less on
“fighting against racial pressure”
and more on “fighting for prog
ress as youthful individuals.”
BSU Treasurer Efun Sade Ca
dle, a junior finance major, is in
her second semester at UB. She
transferred to UB in August.
“I went to a historically black
high school and 98 percent of
the school was black,” Cadle
said. “UB is huge, and to find a
small group of people who share
the same interests as you just

stills so much in you.”

BSU Publicity Coordinator
Sean Galette said the club al
lowed him to find family eight
hours away from his home. Be
ing an active BSU member has
challenged him to maintain cer
tain standards at school and led
him to make multiple sacrifices.
"You really have to be truly
dedicated to more than one thing
at once,” said Noelle Nesbitt, an
activities coordinator and a ju
nior biomedical engineering ma
jor. "You do have to measure up
to the requirements that you ac
tually put yourself up for.”
Despite the challenges, Nesbitt
said she is thankful for how BSU
has provided her with the oppor
tunities to network and grow as
a person.
To find out more about the
club or its events, Black Student
Union is an open group on Face
book.

Talent shows brings in
more than $1,200 in
donations

A lively crowd and live performances
weren’t the only reasons why students and
community members attended the Black
Student Union’s (BSU) sickle cell auction on
Sunday.
When the audience was asked how many
people knew someone with sickle cell ane
mia, just about every hand went up.
BSU held its annual Sickle Cell Auction
on Sunday in the Student Union Theater.
Every year, BSU holds the auction to not
only raise awareness for sickle cell anemia,
but to also raise as much money as it can for
the cause. Altogether, BSU raised $1,242.48
in donations, slightly less than last year’s to
tal of more than $1,400. All proceeds went
to Women &amp; Children’s Hospital of Buffalo.
Attendees paid a $5 fee to see many dif
ferent performances, with acts from all over
Buffalo coming to perform. After each per
formance, attendees could donate a respec
tive amount of money depending on how
much they liked the performance.
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood dis
order that has a heavy prevalence in the black
community. One in every 12 African Ameri
cans has the sickle cell trait, according to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In a normal and healthy body, hemoglo
bin in red blood cells will absorb oxygen in
efforts to maintain the healthiness of the
cells. Normal hemoglobin cells are dough
nut-shaped to allow free movement through
small and large blood, vessels to deliver ox
ygen.

“This really makes a difference,”
LaTrovato said.
LaTrovato also reiterated the strain
that sickle cell takes on not just the
victim, but the victim’s family as well.
“Yes, kids come to get treatment,
but mom and dad can’t go to work,”
she said.

UB’s gospel choir sang a powerful ver
sion of “He’s Able” in honor of expressing
what many felt God could do for them, es
pecially during crises like sickle cell.
The entire act brought in $224 in dona
tions.
Diane Deroche, senior health and human
services major, said the community aspect
of the show was the most satisfying.
“We hope that more awareness is brought
to a disease that is commonly overlooked,”
Golbourne said. “We want to make sure
people are getting tested for the disease or
trait, they know about the complexities of
the disease, they know what steps they can
take when helping someone who has the
disease, or can spread the word on a disease
that affects us so dearly.”

Demonstrators rally to raise awareness for racial injustices

Allison Staebell- The Spectrum

Members of UB’s Black Student Union participated in a "B/ack Solidarity" ra/ly on Monday afternoon. The
annual rally aims to celebrate black pride and raise awareness about the issues the black community faces.

Roughly 30 students participated in
a “Black Solidarity” rally Monday af
ternoon as part of UB’s Black Student
Union’s Black Solidarity Week.
The rally started in the Student Union Lob
by. From there, students marched through the
Academic Spine. Demonstrators chanted “say
it loud, I’m black and I’m proud,” “no justice,
no peace, no racist police” and “this is what
democracy looks like.” Some students carried

signs. One read, “if all lives matter, what’s
the issue with black lives matter.” Another de
clared, “united we stand.”
Nov. 6 is Black Solidarity Day, a national
observance that started in 1969. Every year,
the day falls on the Monday before Election
Day. The day was originally established to en
courage political discussion before elections.
The day has evolved into an opportunity for
education and awareness about the black
community and the issues they face, as well as
an opportunity to express black pride.

UB’s Black Student Union celebrates Black
Solidarity Day by showcasing and selling
products from black owned businesses in the
Student Union Lobby. Students traditionally
hold a rally after the sales event.
“This is about celebrating being black and
being proud,” Aykayla Watson, a senior bio
logical sciences major said.
Watson explained the demonstration was
intended to be “more of a rally than a pro
test,” and the goal of the rally was to raise

awareness about the social injustices black
people face in America. These injustices in
clude police brutality, discrimination and
racism, according to Watson.
Daniel Edwards, a sophomore exercise
science major, said the rally was an example
of democracy in action.
“This is about democracy,” Edwards
said. “We can rally how we want as long it’s
peaceful. We have a rally every year and it’s
just tradition to keep fighting.”
Edwards, said he hoped the rally would
raise awareness about the struggles of being

a person of color at UB, in addition to
celebrating black pride. He hoped the dem
onstration would help draw attention to the
fact that UB’s African American Studies de
partment is shrinking.
Jaycee Miller, a sophomore political sci
ence and environmental design major, chose
to participate in the rally as a way to show
solidarity for her friends in BSU. She feels it
is important to use her privilege as a white
person to show support for the black com
munity and raise awareness about the issues
that African Americans face, particularly as
white nationalism becomes more prominent
in the United States.

“We live in a world where white national
ism is running rampant,” Miller said. “White
people need to show support for the black
community, a community that has suffered
atrocities for centuries.”
Miller believes the purpose of any protest
is to “voice grievances.” She feels this rally
was especially important and timely in light
of the “White Lives Matters” signs that
were posted throughout campus on Friday.
“The point of this protest is to raise aware
ness about these issues and show that we are
willing to fight to fix them,” Miller said.

                    <text>Black Student Union elects 2018-19 e-board
Haruka Kosugi
Asst. News Editor

[Spectrum
5/7/18]

UB’s largest student body club, the Black
Student Union, held its election for the up
coming year’s e-board last Wednesday in
front of a packed crowd. Ayenoumou Bar
ry, Daniel Edwards and Kendra Harris
were elected president, vice president and
treasurer, respectively, and both Edwards
and Lucas Furlow won seats as activities
coordinators for next year.
BSU is the largest club on the People of
Color council with over 300 members, and
will wield a budget of $33,000 dollars, ac
cording to the 2018-19 Student Associa
tion budget packet.
According to Barry, all of the candidates
ran unopposed, but the election was still
relatively rigorous for those running.
“Questioning from the general body and
our panel is very thorough to ensure that
everyone elected by the general body is
qualified for their position,” Barry wrote in
an email.
Barry, a senior sociology major, also
wrote that she would like to expand on the
annual Welcome Back Celebration barbe
cue held by the club on the first weekend
of classes. She said she would like to col
laborate with other student organizations
to have an event every day during Labor
Day weekend to expose new students to
different clubs on campus.
Harris, who previously served as secre
tary for the club, wrote in an email that she
wanted to become more involved in the

club because it will give her a forum to dis
cuss issues within the black community.
“The BSU provides me with a safe space
where I am comfortable addressing is
sues that affect me and my community
free from judgment, allows me to voice my
concerns as a black student on campus and
allows me to learn more about black histo
ry and culture,” wrote Harris.
As treasurer, Harris said she wants BSU
fundraisers to focus more on economic is
sues facing the black community and “ed
ucating the students on financial literacy.”
Senior economics major Patrick Strick
land attended the first Q&amp;A portion of the
election and said the process was “intense.”
He said the questions asked by the audi
ence were “tough” and measured the can
didates’ critical thinking skills.
Rudolph Walker, a BSU general body
member and senior political science major,
also remarked that the elections were
“intense,” but thought the candidates did
well.
“[Barry] is definitely going to do a great
job,” Deon said.
Recently, the BSU has produced a num
ber of students who have gone on to hold
a seat on the SA e-board.
Current SA President Leslie Veloz was
BSU vice president before running for her
SA position and incoming SA Vice Presi
dent Anyssa Evelyn held the position of
BSU events coordinator.

celebrates Black History Month
Members promote black history, culture — 'notjust one month'

A win

UB’s Black Student Union
(BSU) has big plans for Black
History Month, including birth
day celebrations for Abraham
Lincoln and Frederick Douglass,
two pioneers for black equality.
BSU has several events lined
up, such as a leadership confer
ence for local high school stu
dents, its annual health fair with
local health organizations, com
munity service events that will
be held every other weekend and
a Valentine’s Day candy-gram
and raffle, according to Chris
tina Dunn, an activities coordi
nator for the club and a sopho
more sociology and communica
tion major.
To conclude the month’s fes
tivities, the club will continue its
tradition of hosting Black Ex
plosion.
“It’s a fashion and cultural
show where we take any theme
or idea that we want and run
wild with it,” said President Greg
Bellonton, a senior psychology
major. “The point of this year’s
fashion show is to readjust the
focus to show that black is beau
tiful by taking the same ideas
[that society has deemed beauti
ful] and putting our passion into
it and showing that black is beau
tiful.”
This year, BSU is switching
things up by holding Black Ex
plosion on March 1 instead of in
February.
“It’s really important to realize
that black history is not just one
month,” Dunn said. “You should
know your culture and your peo
ple and the way that we appreci
ate our history.”
BSU holds meetings every
Wednesday at 5 P.M. in 307 Stu
dent Union and welcomes peo
ple of every ethnicity and cul
ture.

(Top left to bottom right) BSU leaders Sean Galette, publicity coordinator, Robin
Murray, vice president, Donald Kelly, Black Men United co-chair, Alana Barricks,
community service chair, and Greg Bellanton, president, have several events ar
ranged for Black History Month.

"You don’t have to be black or
from the Caribbean or Jamaica
to come to our events,” Bellon
ton said. “We can relate to every
body in America and throughout
the world on different topics.”
Anyone in the UB community
can join BSU’s progressive think
ing by becoming a part of the
club, Bellonton said. Even stu
dents from other schools, such
as Buffalo State College and Erie
Community College, attend the
meetings, Dunn said.
Vice President Robin Mur
ray said the club focuses less on
“fighting against racial pressure”
and more on “fighting for prog
ress as youthful individuals.”
BSU Treasurer Efun Sade Ca
dle, a junior finance major, is in
her second semester at UB. She
transferred to UB in August.
“I went to a historically black
high school and 98 percent of
the school was black,” Cadle
said. “UB is huge, and to find a
small group of people who share
the same interests as you just

stills so much in you.”

BSU Publicity Coordinator
Sean Galette said the club al
lowed him to find family eight
hours away from his home. Be
ing an active BSU member has
challenged him to maintain cer
tain standards at school and led
him to make multiple sacrifices.
"You really have to be truly
dedicated to more than one thing
at once,” said Noelle Nesbitt, an
activities coordinator and a ju
nior biomedical engineering ma
jor. "You do have to measure up
to the requirements that you ac
tually put yourself up for.”
Despite the challenges, Nesbitt
said she is thankful for how BSU
has provided her with the oppor
tunities to network and grow as
a person.
To find out more about the
club or its events, Black Student
Union is an open group on Face
book.

UB Art Project Incites Racial Tension on
C
ampus
By Ryan Whalen
Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 10:07 PM EDT

Buffalo, N.Y. - Art is often judged by the emotion it subjects its consumers to, for better or
worse, but a recent controversial, racially charged installation on the University of Buffalo
campus has students outraged.

A “White Only” sign was posted outside a bathroom at Clemens Hall Wednesday afternoon.
"Black Only” signs appeared near drinking fountains and restrooms on campus.
”We want answers as to who approved this, why they would approve this and why no one took

�into consideration the feelings of black students on campus," UB student Jayonia Griffin said.

School officials said an African-American art student posted these signs as part of a project.
She appeared at a Black Student Union meeting that evening where many members expressed
their anger over the project.
"It actually backfired, it kind of separated the campus even more,” said UB African Student
Association President Charles D’Onigbind. “I feel it kind of divided us into black and white.
Especially in a time where there are police killings, there are Muslim kids getting arrested for
building a clock. This is not a great period to try and play around with something like that.”

The Black Student Union suggested the artist’s intention was to evoke an emotional response
from the student body.

"It really triggered some emotions of inequality and segregation and discrimination that my
generation has never felt in that way before,” said UB Black Student Union President Micah
Oliver. "This is a student problem. The signs triggered emotions and threatened safety of
students at UB, not just black students."
"In a setting like this, there’s always an academic explanation," Oliver said. "There's always an
academic tie to it. Seems like there's always a theory behind the way that these things happen.
In any case, the Black Student Union feels like this in particular was highly insensitive and
innapropriate."

A university spokesperson said it is continuing to review the matter through appropriate
university policies and procedures.

                    <text>Students have spoken now UB needs to listen
BSU and SA instrumental in leading UB toward a better
community, UB needs to assist them
[Spectrum 9/28/15]
The “White Only” and “Black
Only” signs that appeared on
campus two weeks ago shocked
the -university. Debates have en
sued over artistic freedom, race
relations and campus policies.
The Student Association and
Black Student Union (BSU) strove
in the aftermath to provide sup
port for those troubled by the
event, like last Wednesday’s open
forum.
Students at the forum spoke of
everything from UB’s response to
the signs to race relations on cam
pus.
The creation of these discus
sions and the strong reactions
from both BSU and SA provid
ed some reassurance that student
leadership took this event seriousl
y.
Now UB needs to do their part.
It’s clear UB as a university
fell gravely short in dealing with
the crisis initially. Barbra Ricot
ta, associate vice president of stu
dent affairs, admitted as much at
Wednesday’s forum. With report
edly insensitive reactions from
University Police dispatchers, no
alert being sent out about the
signs and President Satish Tripathi
taking more than a week to release
a statement on the issue, there was
failure on many levels.
UB seems to be on the path
to righting some of its wrongs.
Tripathi released a statement to
students and Wednesday’s forum
included some positive discus
sion from UB officials, like possi
ble creation of a colored advisory
committee to meet with UPD.
But now the university needs to

follow through.
First, the problems related to
UPD come as systemic and wide
spread.
Students said dispatchers down
played the event when they called
about the signs. While UB is inves
tigating the tapes of the dispatch
er calls, which is good to hear, it’s
alarming to hear dispatchers may
not have taken students’ fears se
riously.
Another troubling development
was a student’s claim an officer
blamed the signs for not allowing
police to respond to an assault on
South Campus. UPD should have
been able to tend to an assault and
what could have been a hate crime
at the same time.
How many officers are on cam
pus?
One black male student also
said a UPD officer once asked
him if he was even a student when
he asked where the library was on
South Campus. The issues there
are obvious.
Another point of criticism
lies with the administrations re
sponse. No kind of alert was put
out, which casts judgment of the
administration in doubt. Before it
was revealed to be an art project,
students had legitimate concerns
the signs were a hate crime.
Adding onto this uncertainty
was Tripathi’s delay in releasing a
statement. While .the university
put out several statements quick
ly regarding the signs — which we
appreciate — students should have
heard from their president.

�Students
have spoken
- now UB
needs to
listen
Continued From Page 3

Listening to students at the forum, it was
clear they wanted to hear from their presi
dent. It should not have taken more than a
week for students to get that.
The delay and confusion makes it seem a
day late and a dollar short.
Finally, the question of Ashley Powell,
the student who hung the signs, must be ad
dressed. Clearly there needs to be repercus
sions and public ones at that. The university
has condemned what happened and stated
that the rules were violated in posting such
signs. Now it needs to take some action to
back up their words, or students will com
pletely lose faith in the administration.
While we don’t feel Powell’s opportuni
ty to get an education here should be tak
en away, there has to be some repercussion
for her, her professors or anyone who had
knowledge of her project.
Black students clearly feel that UB is di
vided along racial lines. One student at the
forum pointed out how most of the attend
ees were not white. Another student said
he’s trying to reinstate an NAACP chapter
at UB.
The calls for diversity training for faculty,
in addition to the diversity classes planned
for the general education program, seems
much more reasonable if these kinds of at
titudes are prevalent on campus.
The campus needs to move quickly, deci
sively and publicly in its efforts to reassure
present and future minority students.
Otherwise, UB might not be viewed as a
welcome school for minority students any
more.

time, it is absolutely critical that we spect, understanding, and a genu
do so in a safe, inclusive, and welcoming ine appreciation for diverse backgrounds

and points of view.
Last night’s forum, hosted by
the Black Student Union, contin
ued that effort in a very positive
way by providing a platform for
many voices to be heard and per
spectives to be exchanged.
Regrettably, I was not able to at
tend the forum, as I was en route
to Albany for the Chancellor’s fall
meeting of the SUNY presidents.
However, I have had extensive dis
cussions about the forum and its
outcomes with members of the
university administration who
were in attendance. They have
shared with me the many concerns
our students and faculty raised at
the forum.
The questions we are grappling
with are big ones—from the scope
of First Amendment rights and
the nature of protected speech to
questions about campus safety, in
equity, and what it means to fos
ter a truly diverse and inclusive ac
ademic community.
These questions won’t be an
swered overnight. It will take time,
effort, and careful consideration
on each of our parts to address
them. But doing so is of critical
importance for all of us, and will
have lasting value.
Toward this end, let me briefly
outline a few of the steps our uni
versity administration is taking to
address these larger issues.
As announced at last night’s
forum, Dean of Students Barb
Ricotta will be convening a stu
dents of color advisory commit
tee to the University Police De
partment that will meet monthly
to sustain a dialogue with campus
officers and students about ensur
ing a safe and welcoming campus
environment for all students.
Similarly, I have asked Provost

Zukoski to work with our facul
ty across the disciplines to engage
in an ongoing conversation about
negotiating the boundaries around
academic freedom and freedom of
expression.
We continue to explore the pol
icy implications of this event, in
cluding the enforcement of our
Environment, Health &amp; Safety pol
icy which states that “experimen
tal apparatus, demonstration or art
projects...” placed in common ar
eas must be reviewed in advance
for safety and security purposes.
As we continue this dialogue
across our campus community, our
Vice Provost for Equity and Inclu
sion Teri Miller, in her role as UB’s
chief diversity officer, will contin
ue to provide guidance for our on
going university-wide efforts to en
sure that our UB practices and pro
grams are characterized by the fair,
inclusive, and equitable treatment
of our diverse campus population.
I am also reaching out to the
student leadership groups I met
with earlier this week to continue
our dialogue in the months ahead,
with the hope of meeting with this
group on a regular basis so we can
continue to assess our ongoing ef
forts to foster a welcoming and in
clusive campus culture.
I urge us all, as a campus com
munity, to continue this dialogue
over the coming days, weeks, and
months. And as president, I am
committed to ensuring our uni
versity community remains a safe,
welcoming, inclusive, intellectually
open space in which to have this
dialogue.
Sincerely,
Satish K. Tripathi
President

[See Spectrum 9/25/15]

Greetings President Satish
Tripathi and University at Buffalo
Administration,
Attention: Charles F. Zukoski,
Dennis R. Black, and Chair to the
Department of Art

From its inception in 1967, The
Black Student Union has carried
the goal of preserving and perpet
uating African American culture,
dignity and self-awareness. As the
first minority organization on the
University at Buffalo’s campus, we
seek advancements in affiliating
and uplifting individuals through
means of education and commu
nity involvement. To align with the
execution of these goal, the Black
Student Union submits this letter
to you on September 25, 2015.
The Black Student Union would
like to thank you for extending the
invitation to gather student lead
ers to discuss last week’s events at
length.
On Wednesday, September 17th
2015, The Black Student Union
convened for its weekly gener
al body meeting where students
addressed the “White Only” and
“Black Only” signs displayed on
campus. At this general body
meeting, students expressed feel
ings of, shock, grief, and trepida
tion.
As students shared their re
sponses to the signs, it was evi
dent that these discoveries took an
emotional and psychological toll
on the student body of this cam
pus. One student professed to
feeling threatened by the signs and
fearing for her life. Another stu
dent proclaimed that her friends,

who are also UB students, did not
know where to sit at a restaurant
at the UB commons after seeing a
“White Only” sign in the vi
cinity.
There has always been an inter
ply between artistic expression and
crime, and this case is no different.
While graffiti is considered a style
of art that has dated back as far
as ancient Rome, it has also been
seen as an illegal action. These
signs evoked such a mass of neg
ative emotions from students, and
regardless of the intentions, peo
ple still suffered.
The Black Student Union stands
by its position that this is not art.
This project is likened to human
subject experimentation in which
all of the general population of
our university was involuntari
ly exposed to these discriminato
ry signs.
Ashley Powell voluntarily admit
ted [in the Black Student Union’s
general body meeting Wednesday,
September 17th, 2015] that she is
solely responsible for displaying
the signs for the UB art course, In
stallations in Urban Spaces. The
Black Student Union believes the
student body’s right to move free
ly about the campus appeared to
have been impeded on by the very
plain discriminatory message on
the signs.
In no way did Powell’s presence
in Wednesday’s general body meet
ing inflate or increase the meeting’s
attendance. The Black Student
Union’s general body has been his
torically supportive and regular
ly active in all BSU programs and
events. In fact, many other Student

Association organizations
were represented in Wednesday’s
general body meeting. As the pre
mier student organization for mi
nority individuals at the Universi
ty at Buffalo, it is not uncommon
for weekly general body meet
ings to be widely supported and
well-attended. The attendance to
Wednesday’s meeting will not be
reduced to Powell’s veiled attempt
to incite racial tension. The minor
ity community at the University at
Buffalo stands in solidarity with
the Black Student Union.
After Powell’s confession and
self identification as a graduate
student, the general body mem
bers and other students present
in the meeting immediately ques
tioned how said “art project” was
approved and how it could in any
way fulfill a legitimate academic
purpose.
While others have dismissed the
displays offensiveness because it
was supported by a sociocultur
al theory, the Black Student Union
does not excuse the insensitivi
ty of this display. Moreover, the
nationality or ethnicity of Powell
does not impact the Black Student
Union’s stance against her work.
However, Powell is not the only
person responsible for these dis
plays. The Black Student Union
believes adjunct professor, War
ren K. Quigley is also at fault. As
students, we expect for faculty to
be knowledgeable on the current
academic standards set forth by
the university for the array of re
spective schools and programs.
As students, we also expect facul
ty’s guidance and sound judgment

as it relates to achieving academ
ic goals. Many students begged the
question,” Did anyone consider
the implications that this ‘art proj
ect’ would have on the people at
the University at Buffalo?” Profes
sor Quigley failed to provide the
appropriate guidance in this mat
ter. As a result, the project was
carried out and people of all races
and creeds remain profoundly dis
tressed.
If this project is in fact in accor
dance with any university standard
for academic work, a complete
overhaul of these standards must
be performed immediately. Fail
ure to reexamine University pol
icies and procedures that protect
the freedoms of students’ academ
ic prowess and foster a healthy liv
ing-learning environment sends a
single substandard message... that
the University at Buffalo does not
value its minority students, faculty,
staff, alumni, donors, and affiliates.
Although Ashley Powell and ad
junct professor Warren K. Quig
ley are the cause of this heinous
act, The Black Student Union also
finds the University at Buffalo’s
Police Department at fault.
The Black Student Union ex
ecutive board noted a common
theme in students’ expressions at
Wednesday’s general body meet
ing. Students felt: angry, trauma
tized, unwelcomed, divided, dis
criminated against, belittled, de
humanized, fearful, unsure, and
unsafe.
Multiple students contacted the
University Police Department to
report the findings. Later at the
general body meeting Wednesday,

�Letter To The Editor
Continued From Page 3

students described their interaction with
University Police as disheartening. Students
expected for the officers to inquire about
other display sightings, possible sightings
of individuals posting the displays, and ref
erences to UB Counseling services. How
ever, University Police officers merely dis
posed of the “White Only” and “Black
Only” signs in trash receptacles. Universi
ty Police dispatchers responding via tele
phone dismissed the students’ feelings of
fear by making insensitive statements like:
“Why are you so upset over a sign?” Which
does not reflect UB’s official statement:
“UB is a safe place that values diversity.
Review is under way.” (Twitter, @UBnow
Thursday September 17, 2015; 4:24pm)
Not only were responses such as this gross
ly inappropriate coming from public offi
cials who are sworn to protect and serve
the student body, their passivity to the his
torical context of these signs is equally dis
heartening and disturbing.
The Black Student Union and the minor
ity community fully expect that the admin
istration of the University at Buffalo addres

each of the following questions pub
lically, candidly, and with urgency:
• What is art at UB?
• What is academic freedom?
• Does academic freedom justify or cre
ate room for racially charged art forms?
• Does academic freedom endorse un
conscionable recreations of historically di
visive work?
• Is our welcome, as people of color, at
UB only as extensive as the next art proj
ect?
• Where does the University draw the
line between freedom of expression and
overt demonstrations of cultural trauma?
In conclusion, the Black Student Union
fully expects that:
• President Satish K. Tripathi immedi
ately address the aforementioned five ques
tions and insist that this work is not art.
• President Satish K. Tripathi artic
ulate University at Buffalo’s vision for in
clusion that encompasses matters like this
during his Annual State of the University
Address.
• The Chair of the Art Department

actively re-evaluate policies and procedures
currently in place concerning art installa
tions.
•
University administration review, re
vise and train the University Police officers
and dispatchers to respond to harmful acts
more sufficiently
• Address why University Police of
ficers merely disposed of displays in trash
receptacles as opposed to inquiring about
other display sightings, possible sightings
of individuals posting the displays, and ref
erences to UB counseling services
• Address University Police dispatch
ers insensitive responses to concerned stu
dents
The Black Student Union will not stand
idly by as new developments of racial
ly charged interactions continuously take
place in the UB community. The Black Stu
dent Union will not be silent and will re
main steadfast in upholding the principles
our organization was established upon in
1967.
This letter serves as a means to convey
the message that the student body’s concerns

will not be minimized. The Black
Student Union will not rest until the above
expectations are actively and effectively
pursued.
In solidarity,
Black Student Union Executive Board

SA and BSU hold open forum to
discuss recent controversial art
[Spectrum 9/25/15]
project

Gabriela Julia
Senior-News Editor

The controversial “White
Only” and “Black Only” art
project displayed on campus
last week caused an emotional and at times
intense open forum discussion for stu
dents, faculty and UB officials Wednesday
night.
The Student Association and the Black
Student Union (BSU) organized the forum.
The forum aimed to give students an op
portunity to voice opinions on the “White
Only” and “Black Only” signs UB gradu
ate fine arts student Ashley Powell posted
around campus last week as part of a class
art project.
More than 300 people attended, includ
ing a panel of UB faculty and officials. The
forum’s main focus was allowing students
to speak. Students applauded and snapped
when one of them made a point they all
agreed with and one student began to cry
while speaking to the audience.
Before the forum began, BSU made it
clear that the discussion was not intended
to focus on the signs or Powell, but about
those affected and to make sure it never
happened again. The forum used the signs
as the first of many discussions about po
tential change on campus.
Students, faculty and officials discussed a
wide range of topics, but the main points
were:
• The historical context of the signs
• Students’ personal experiences with
racism on campus
• Issues with how UB and University
Police handled the situation
• What UB can do to have more racial
and social inclusion on campus
• The legality of Powell’s project
• President Satish Tripathi’s absence
from the forum and student disappoint
ment that he had at that time yet to release
a statement about the controversy
Kenny Berrouet, a junior business major,
said some students of color currently don’t
want to apply to UB because of the situation.

He said the only way to change that is
to make sure the university does not let the
problem slowly dissolve without a solution.
“We are a campus under fire and a busi
ness,” he said. “We don’t want the reputa
tion of the university on the line.”

Student
signs

reactions to the

Discomfort, anger, fear and disgust were
just a few of the emotions students men
tioned when asked how they felt when they
first saw the signs.
Jason Young, a history professor, gave
the historical context of the signs by dis
playing images of “White” and “Colored”
water fountains from the mid-19th century.
He also said why he believes students had
the reaction they did toward them.
“The angst that emerged from these
signs came from students wondering where
they are allowed versus where they are wel
comed,” Young said.
When Deidree Golbourne, BSU vicepresident and junior African American
studies major, asked who felt unwelcomed
when they saw the signs, almost every hand
in the audience went up.
One student said because he grew up in
a mainly white community in Westchester,
New York, he has trained himself to -toler
ate favor, biases and prejudice.
Another student said when he first saw
the signs, he was defensive and had to con
trol himself because he knew that if he
proceeded in a violent manner, it could
have resulted in a bigger problem.
Susan Green, clinical associate professor
and co-director of the Institute on Trau
ma and Trauma-Informed Care, said being
defensive is an appropriate reaction to this
traumatic experience.
Green said one theory for this trauma
is called Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome,
which is based on history and experience
of past generations. African Americans today

Only" signs posted on campus.

day may not have an exact memory of slav
ery, but they have a feel for it in their mem
ory that is coded in their DNA, Green said.

Students’ experiences with
racism on campus
Golbourne, who served as forum mod
erator, also asked the audience if anyone
had ever experienced other forms of overt
racism.
Isaiah Davis, a senior philosophy and Eng
lish major, talked about his experience as a
black resident adviser (RA) on campus and
his affiliation in an Afro-Latino fraternity.
“One time I was wearing a hoodie and
sweats and someone behind me asked, ‘Isa
iah, why are you dressed like a hoodlum,”’
he said. “There was a white RA standing
right next to me in the same exact outfit.”
Rashaad Holley, a senior business major,
said he didn’t feel very welcomed once he
got to campus.
During his first week at UB, Holley said
he got off the Stampede bus on South
Campus and asked a UPD police officer
where the library was. He said the officer
responded with, “Are you even a student?”
“Some people might not think it was that
big of a deal, but it was my first interaction
with an officer on campus and I felt un
welcomed,” he said. “All I wanted was to
be looked at as a student when I came here
and nothing else.”

BSU President Micah Oliver, a senior so
cial sciences major, said he had a professor
rap lyrics from a 1979 song “Rock n Roll
N*gger.”
“He tried to make it OK by putting it in
some academic context but it just shows
how desensitized some professors are,” Ol
iver said.

Issues with University Po
lice’s response
One of the biggest issues students said
they had was UPD’s response.
Christina Dunn, a junior communication
and sociology major, said her mother called
UPD to get more information on the signs
since Dunn was off campus at the time. She
said UPD told her mother, “there are black
[only] signs too.”
“That shouldn’t have been the response,”
Dunn said. “Why assume the caller was of
any race?”

Davis said a UPD officer told students
that calls about the signs kept officers from
handling a situation on South Campus.
“He blamed the black community for not
addressing an assault on South Campus,”
Davis said. “It just shows those people are
incompetent with their jobs.”
Barbara Ricotta, associate vice president
for Student Affairs, told students every call
that comes into the dispatch unit is record
ed and UB is currently listening back to ev
ery call and examining how dispatchers han
dled them. She also said every complaint
against an officer is taken seriously and she
advised students file a complaint if they are
concerned with how a situation was handled.

Issues with UB’s response
At least three students brought up Tripa
thi’s absence and his lack of a statement on
the issue Wednesday night. One student
even said Tripathi was failing students.
They all thanked the panelists for being
there, but commented that the university
president should be there.
“I love that you’re all here, but you’re not
him,” one female student said to the panel.
Tripathi released a statement Thursday
about the project and explaining he was
traveling to Albany for a SUNY presidents
meeting Wednesday night.
Students also took issue that the universi
ty did not send out an alert about the situa
tion, as the students felt their safety was in
danger when they first saw the signs. UB released

a statement about the signs later in
the evening once it had been revealed the
signs were a part of an art project.
Ricotta admitted that UB should have
sent out message to alert students more
quickly and the situation could have been
handled better.
One student was angered by the student
representation at the forum, as she com
mented that the entire university was invit
ed but the vast majority of student attend
ees were black.

Legality of art project
Students said they will not be at ease until

UB’s administration makes a decision on
the art project.
Jim Jarvis, associate counsel for gener
al accounts, said there is tension between
the right of freedom of expression and dis
crimination. The art project was not perva
sive or severe enough to be unlawful dis
crimination, he said.
He did admit, however, that rules were
broken.
Jarvis said UB requires projects and items
placed in common areas are submitted for
approval of health, safety and welfare be

stallment. Powell’s signs were not.
in
If the project had been approved, the
display would have been labeled as such so
people had a clear understanding of what
it was.
When Golbourne asked the audience
who considered the signs art, no one raised
their hand.
Franchesca Lara, a senior health and hu
man services major, said she didn’t look at
it as art because of Powell’s intent.
“All she did was print out a sign and post
it to get a reaction out of people — that was
a social experiment,” Lara said.
One student said that rules are meaning
less without enforcement. Since the univer
sity has agreed that the student broke the
rules, there must be a consequence. The
audience applauded in agreement.

How to move forward
Although UB is one of the more di
verse universities in the nation, many stu
dents said they feel a division among ethnic

groups.
“It’s like oil and water - we’re a diverse
campus but people don’t mix,” said Rog
elio Games, a sophomore business ma
jor. “You can put in as many students as
you want, but not everyone understands
or cares to understand where each other
come from.”
UB has taken some steps to change this.
Starting next fall, all incoming UB stu
dents are required to take a diversity and
learning course for the first time ever, said
Teresa Miller, law school professor and
vice provost for Equity and Inclusion. It
will not only discuss racial oppression, but
how gender, sexuality and religion overlap
each other as well. The room applauded
the announcement.
So far, 44 courses have been approved
and more than 200 seats have been filled.
But students made it clear that this isn’t
enough. Students suggested faculty go
through diversity training as well.
One student commented on the lack of
minority professors at UB. According to

College Factual, 83 percent of UB faculty
is white and 5.9 percent is black.
Another student noted the absence of
many black UPD officers.
Ricotta said she and other faculty want
to create an advisory colored committee
for UPD starting in October. She wants
students to talk to officers about their past
experiences and how officers can do a bet
ter job at making students feel safe on
campus.
Berrouet has taken it upon himself and
his peers to reinstate a NAACP chapter at
UB. He said BSU can’t be the only ones to
evoke necessary changes.
“If I were student of color applying for
college, I wouldn’t come here,” Berrouet
said. “I’ll go to [SUNY] Buff[alo] State or
another SUNY school.”
Oliver and SA President Minahil Khan
both gave closing statements that the con
versation about change must continue and
cannot end with Wednesday’s forum.

                    <text>Tripathi speaks on ‘White Only’ art
project, issues in the Heights

[Spectru
m 11/9/15]

Tom Dinki
Editor In Chief
Satish Tripathi often gets asked how he
wants to leave UB when his time as its pres
ident comes to an end. He usually responds
that he simply wants to have made the uni
versity better for students, faculty and the
community and have improved the overall
institution.
I'll leave it up to others to judge how I
did it,” he said.
Tripathi sat down with The Spectrum for
a wide-ranging interview in his Capen Hall
fifth floor office Thursday afternoon. He
was passionate, often hitting his hand on the
table to emphasize his points when speaking
of issues like the “White Only” art project
and the University Heights neighborhood,
and upbeat when speaking of positives like
record donations and his plans for UB’s fu
ture. He was candid when speaking of his
own legacy.
He also said he would meet with The Spec
trum again next semester.
Tripathi and UB have been dealing with
fallout from the controversial art project
in which graduate fine arts student Ashley
Powell hung signs reading “White Only”
and “Black Only” around campus. Students,
some of whom were fearful and outraged
over the signs, have been waiting for university
response and action since September.
Tripathi said a College of Arts and Sci
ences policy committee is still making a pol
icy with clear guidelines on expressive art in
public places on campus. He said it’s a dif
ficult line to walk, however, as a. university
is a place for students to express themselves

President Satish Tripathi sat down for an interview with The Spectrum in his Capen fifth floor office on Thursday. Tripathi spoke of issues
facing UB like the "White Only” art project and the Heights, as well as record donations and his goals for the university.

and to “push boundaries,” but not at the ex
pense of others feeling unsafe.
“Arts are going to be controversial. But
when it’s put on the wall, one should say
that this is art. So there must be a policy on
the campus,” Tripathi said.

Members of the Black Student Union
(BSU) peacefully protested Tripathi’s annu
al State of the University address last month
with questions they wanted Tripathi and UB
to answer about the line between art and
cultural trauma. Tripathi was supposed to

meet with BSU the same day as his inter
view with The Spectrum, but said the meeting
had to be rescheduled because some mem
bers could not meet.

Continued From Page 1

He said he’s looking forward to meeting
with BSU sometime this week.
“One of the things I want them to un
derstand is their concerns are my con
cerns,” Tripathi said. “I want to make sure
[that] if they feel insecure ... I really need
to address that issue.”
A 2013 Spectrum poll revealed that 82
percent of students surveyed did not feel
Tripathi had a visible presence on campus.
Tripathi said while he misses the “intense
interactions” with students that comes with
teaching, he sometimes must use his time
getting students the resources they need
rather than interacting with them.
“I try to walk around and see the students
and talk to them, but I definitely could do a
lot more,” Tripathi said. “But at the same
time, my job is to make sure students get
better education here - they have the re
courses, they have the faculty. So I feel I
could do a lot better if I’m getting resourc
es somewhere for them.”
One of larger problems students have is
life in the Heights right off of South Cam
pus. The district had 523 crimes, including
272 larcenies and 118 burglaries, in 2012
and many students live in unsafe housing
conditions with absentee landlords. Resi
dents have also complained of the student
partying in the neighborhood and Buffalo
Police has increased crackdowns on drink
ing this semester.
“This is a thing that’s going to take time
but it’s a problem - I own it,” Tripathi said.
“It’s something we really need to work on.”
Tripathi said UB has taken several steps
to improve the neighborhood, like paying
City of Buffalo inspectors overtime to in
spect homes in the Heights and incentiviz
ing UB faculty to buy homes in the neigh
borhood with a loan program. UB will also
soon announce a new grant program where
loans will be forgiven if faculty members
live in the homes for a certain number of

Kainan Guo, The Spectrum
Tripathi said UB is working to revitalize South Campus and the Heights neighborhood, like moving
graduate schools to the campus and incentivizing faculty to buy homes in the area.

years.
But Tripathi said the Heights can’t be tru
ly revitalized until South Campus is revital
ized.
The campus is ridden with temporary
buildings from the ’50s and ’60s and is los
ing the medical school to the new down
town campus. Tripathi has pushed for
more money from the state and to move
the Graduate School of Education and the
School of Social Work to South Campus.
Tripathi said doing so would also help alle
viate the shortage of space on North Cam
pus.
When asked about his vision for South
Campus 10 years from now, Tripathi used
terms like “vibrant,” “alive” and filled with
“student life.”
“As the plans progresses, I want all the
three campuses to be better than where
they are,” Tripathi said. “It’s a tough thing
because I don’t want any of the campus­
es to be worse. I want them all to be better
and that’s exactly what we’re trying to do.”

Tripathi said UB’s recent string of deans
stepping down, including College of Arts
and Sciences Dean E. Bruce Pitman, is
more “timing” than a trend. He said UB’s
deans actually serve longer than the nation
al average, which he says is about three and
a half to four years.
“It’s definitely an issue for a short time
while we search for a dean, but it’s nor
mal in the university context,” Tripathi said.
“Of course, in a given situation you might
say, ‘Oh my god, the dean left.’ But it’s not
the case.”
He said the university must think long
term when finding solutions for the loss of
enrollment in humanities that is happening at
UB and across the country. UB’s arts, histo
ry, English and foreign language departments
have all had enrollment decreases of more
than 40 percent during the past decade.
“So if I told my provost, ‘I’ve doubled
my enrollment, give me double the faculty,’
then enrollment went down and they’d say,
‘Ok, give back the faculty’ — you can’t run a

university like that,” Tripathi said.
After losing an election that was later
deemed invalid, former Student Associa
tion Senator Yaser Soliman plans to write
an open letter to Tripathi asking for more
university oversight of SA, which brings in
about $4 million in student funds.
“I can’t tell you that it should have more
oversight or not,” Tripathi said. “They need
to learn how to do it. Otherwise you would
have an observer who says do this, don’t do
this ... We talked about academic freedom,
we talked about learning. On a campus, you
should provide an environment for the stu
dents.”
Tripathi said the UB Foundation (UBF),
the private organization that handles near
ly $1 billion worth of donations to UB, has
enough transparency. UBF currently has
the organization’s 990s and audited finan
cial statements available on its website.
“The private entity is why people give
money. They don’t trust the state. That’s
why it was created,” Tripathi said. “So this
is something that I think is open enough
for people to look at, but we can’t give the
donors names and things like that.”
But Tripathi was upbeat for the majority
of the interview - he rarely goes long in a
conversation without smiling. He took time
to discuss persona! matters, like his limit
ed food options on campus as a vegetari
an and how he knows little about sports —
although he did know the football team is
just one win away from bowl eligibility and
has just one difficult opponent — Northern
Illinois — left on the schedule. He even rec
ommended a book that he’s been enjoying.
He also said he appreciates student jour
nalism and role it has on a college campus.
“It’s fantastic,” Tripathi said. “You not
only learn how to practice journalism, but
you keep the campus honest. You sort of
have a sense of people and finding out
what’s going on. I think it’s great.”

Campus police at the University at Buffalo removed signs saying

“White Only” and “Black Only” Wednesday afternoon from
Clemens Hall on the North Campus in Amherst. A university
spokesperson said a police investigation found that the signs
“were part of a student art project.”
The campus newspaper, The Spectrum, reported on its website

that Ashley Powell, a graduate fine arts student who is black, told
a meeting of the Black Student Union Wednesday evening that
she posted the signs. The Spectrum noted that many students at

the meeting were outraged and walked out. Other students, the
newspaper said, denounced the signs on social media as “racist”
and “an act of terrorism.”

The Spectrum added that “the project was for a 400-level art

class titled ‘Instillation: Urban Space.’ Powell said the goal of the
signs and project was to see what people’s reactions would be to
them.” The signs were installed at water fountains and

bathrooms in Clemens Hall.

Letter To The UB Community

UB committed to inclusive campus
Published November 12, 2015

Dear University Community:

I want to take this opportunity to say once again how vitally important I feel it is to foster a welcoming, safe and inclusive campus climate where
all feel respected and valued. This is a core principle for our UB community. But together, we must understand that creating this environment
requires constant commitment, dialogue and intellectual engagement on the part of all of us.
I believe as a university community, we have committed ourselves to this effort, and with that, we should acknowledge the strides we have made.
At the same time, we can’t turn a blind eye to where we fall short in this effort. Last night, I was informed of the presence of graffiti that used
intolerant language in one of our academic buildings. This is very disappointing and disrespectful of our values as a university community.

As we are all aware, over the past few months, university and college campuses across the nation have been the site of ongoing and intensifying
debate about what it means to create a genuinely inclusive environment and whether our nation’s campuses are living up to this ideal. These
questions have been in the national spotlight at multiple campuses across the country, where students, faculty and staff are confronting painful
issues of intolerance, bigotry and discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual identity.

These are difficult but necessary conversations and I believe the University at Buffalo can help lead the conversation about critical social issues
like these as they play out both on our own campuses and on a national and global level. We don’t just grapple with these issues in the abstract;
we live these principles every day and examine their implications in all that we do — from the way in which social justice is embedded in the
academic mission of our Law School, School of Social Work and other units, to how we plan the physical environment and shape the educational
curriculum.

For all of us, these issues have been especially in our consciousness this semester in the wake of the controversial student art project
[http://www.buffaio.edu/ubreporter/campus/campus-host-page.host.html/content/shared/university/news/ub-reporter-articies/stories/2o15/o9/art_project.detail.html]

that sparked

considerable debate and discussion across UB. It is a tribute to our students, faculty and staff that as a university community we have been able
to take this difficult conversation and evolve it into an opportunity for constructive and sustained dialogue.
In my Sept. 24 open letter to the Spectrum [http://www.buffalo.edu/president/from-the-president/communications/spectrum-ite.html] and later at my State of the
University address [http://www.buffaio.edu/president/from-the-president/speeches/state-of-the-u-2o15.html] on Oct. 9, I shared a few of the actions our university

community is undertaking and I wanted to take this opportunity to provide an update on some of the many ways our students, faculty and staff
are moving the conversation forward.
Our Vice Provost for Equity and Inclusion has organized a series of meetings in our residence halls as an opportunity for students to

discuss issues and concerns related to race, diversity and the campus culture.

We have convened a students of color advisory committee to the University Police Department, and our students, faculty and staff are
engaging in valuable conversations with UB law enforcement about how to foster a safe and welcoming campus climate for all. Since the
end of September, members of our University Police Department have met twice with concerned students about these issues.
The College of Arts and Sciences Policy Committee and Office of the Dean have been meeting to contemplate SUNY’s policy on academic
freedom in the context of campus concerns resulting from the student art project, as well as instructional policy regarding displays in

public spaces.

This past week, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences held a cultural competency training for its entire faculty, staff and
administration.
The Intercultural Diversity Center has organized workshops around diversity and inclusion, and the UB 101 program is exploring new

approaches to how these topics are presented to undergraduates as they enter our university.
Across the university, we are having in-depth conversations about new ways to explore race, ethnicity and cultural difference in the
academic curriculum, from graduate seminars across the university to planning for our new general education program.

�Open letter to the UB community - UB Reporter: Need to know news and views for UB f... Page 2 of 12

And as President, together with other members of the university’s senior leadership, I continue to meet with concerned students about how
to build on our efforts to foster a welcoming and inclusive campus environment for all. In the past few weeks, for example, I have had two

meetings with members of the Black Student Union and other student leaders to discuss their concerns about the student art project and

will be meeting a third time with this group next week.
Together, we are making progress. But we have much more yet to do to ensure we provide the most inclusive, welcoming and intellectually open
environment possible.

Like everything that is truly meaningful, this requires much effort and I thank our students, faculty and staff for all your work. As always, I
encourage us all, as members of the UB community, to reaffirm our shared commitment to diversity, inclusion and mutual respect as essential
core values at the foundation of our academic community — and to live those values each day.

Sincerely,
Satish K. Tripathi

President

Sign of the Times?
By Teresa Miller, vice provost for diversity and inclusion

Published November 19, 2015

This is the first in a series of essays exploring race and diversity at UB. The purpose of writing these essays is to
increase the visibility of conversations that are occurring intensely within some communities and often not at all
within others. Underlying these articles is a commitment on behalf of UB’s leadership to explore the meaning of
racial and other differences at UB, encourage our community to “lean into discomfort,” and in doing so, create the
kind of inclusive, intellectual community that will allow all students, faculty and staff to thrive and realize their full
potential.
Earlier this semester, a graduate art student hung signs around the North Campus, reminiscent of those hung in
the United States during legalized segregation, with the stated purpose of exposing “white privilege.” Several key
facts surrounding the posting of the signs remain in dispute: Was the student “coloring outside the lines” when she
hung the signs or acting under the close supervision of an instructor? Did University Police act professionally in
responding to student calls? Did the art department knowingly disregard official university policy requiring safety authorization for art
projects hung in university common areas?

While facts continue to unfold that will shed light on these questions, there is no doubt whatsoever that the student’s actions, and the reactions
thatfollowed, set into motion a series of responses whose reverberations continue to be felt on campus and off. I'd like to discuss some of what
I am hearing around campus and what it means for UB. This is consistent with the sentiment expressed repeatedly at the Sept. 23 Open Forum
that attention to racial tensions on campus should not end with a studentforum inspired by a single campus incident, but lead to a broader
institutional response.

In a series of essays entitled “Signs of the Times?” I will address four assertions made about the sign incident and attempt to explore the
broader context in which they were made and understood.

Students of color overreacted to a harmless art assignment.
Restricting the display of art is censorship and violates the First Amendment.

#WeWantAnswers.

UB Police mishandled the incident due to cultural insensitivity to students of color.
This initial essay takes on the issue of the reaction of students of color at UB to the signs and explores the lived experiences of students of color
prior to contact with the signs.

Did UB's students of color overreact to a harmless art assignment?
The Black Student Union meeting on the evening of the incident and subsequent meetings called by clubs and organizations of students of color
were widely reported in The Spectrum and on social media. At those meetings, many of which I attended, students of color expressed shock and
outrage, discussed how the signs made them feel unsafe and unwelcome, and recounted other experiences with campus police and others that
made them feel unwelcome at UB.

In contrast, many of the initial reactions I heard from faculty, administrators, staff and students focused on the scale of the reaction by students
of color. So, I thought it would be helpful to put things into perspective.

This incident is not unique to UB
Racial incidents are occurring on numerous campuses across the U.S., causing alarm at institutions that feel they are generally making progress
toward campus diversity. Although it has been 61 years since the U.S. Supreme Court held that racially segregated public education is
unconstitutional, racial equality in public education remains an elusive goal. The experiences of students of color on America’s college and

university campuses underscore this. Within the past two or three years, numerous racial incidents have made the headlines. And these do not
even reflect the less-publicized — or unreported — incidents that occur.
In my informal canvassing of media coverage of these events, I found they group roughly into two categories. The first is direct, intentional
expressions of overt racial bias aimed at students of color. These acts include:

An incident in which a University of Southern California student threw a drink at Student Government President Rini Sampath and
shouted “Indians aren’t worth sh*t!” as she and her friends walked past a fraternity house.

Three University of Mississippi fraternity brothers hung a noose around the neck of a prominent campus statute of James Meredith, the
black student who integrated the school, and draped the statue with a flag bearing a Confederate battle emblem.
Vandalism, in which swastikas and nooses were drawn on the walls of a residence hall and on the door of a room occupied by black and
Jewish students at SUNY-Purchase, and swastikas were sprayed on the doors of the house of Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish fraternity at UC

Berkeley.
Parties and rituals that denigrate or parody people of color, such as the “Crip”mas Party at Clemson University’s SAE chapter in which
fraternity members sported bandanas, sagged their pants and made gang signs parodying African-American as gang members and thugs,

and a Chi Omega sorority theme party where members wore sombreros and fake mustaches and held signs that read: “Will mow lawn for
beer + weed” and “I don’t cut grass, I smoke it.”

These are just the incidents that immediately preceded the posting of the signs at UB. Since then, a veritable avalanche of overt acts of racial bias
have led to protest and upheaval on a variety of college campuses, including the University of Missouri, where repeated incidences of racial
antipathy on campus prompted the football to threaten to boycott a game; Ithaca College, where an alumnus — a person of color — who was
participating on a panel was repeatedly referred to as a savage after describing her ambition as a "savage hunger" to succeed; and UCLA, where
students wore blackface to a Kanye West-themed fraternity party replete with sagging pants and women sporting rear ends of exaggerated
proportions.

A second, less-malevolent — but equally concerning — type of incident involves unintended expressions of racial bias toward students of color.
This includes intentional acts by culturally incompetent actors like the international student at Duke University who hung a noose in a tree
outside the Student Union in order to take pictures in front of it with friends — he texted others inviting them to “come hang out” with him.
While the act itself was not malevolent, the impact of hanging a noose on a campus in a state with a long, painful history of lynching AfricanAmericans certainly harmed the community. The Duke community assumed the noose had been placed in the tree to make a racially derogatory
statement. About 1,000 people attended a rally at Duke that day to condemn the person who placed the noose on the tree. Only a few days later
was it determined the noose was hung as part of a social outing.
These incidents demonstrate the degree to which young Americans are polarized along race and class lines, even among those selected to attend
elite institutions of higher education. Despite years of civil rights legislation and litigation seeking to dismantle structures of legal segregation
and economic oppression, stereotypes that seem to arise from isolation and ignorance persist, along with the deep resistance of students to
stepping outside their comfort zones. While campuses are diverse, students don’t mix. This is particularly striking, given the common goal of
academic communities to foster intellectual curiosity and strengthen critical-thinking skills.
UB is not unique in this regard. Student reaction to UB’s own “racist sign incident” similarly reflects tensions underlying diverse student bodies
that don’t mix. UB’s incident fits somewhere between an intentional expression of racial bias aimed at students of color and a culturally
incompetent act. The student who hung the signs admitted that she did so intentionally, with a stated purpose of exposing “white privilege.” Yet,
the net effect of her efforts was not a successful demonstration of “white privilege” but an iteration of yet another campus racial incident that
reminds students of color of the precarious status of their welcome.

Indeed, her statement to The Spectrum attempts to justify the harm she caused students of color for the greater good of confronting their own
trauma. According to the student: “Are we (people of color) not complicit in our own oppression when we turn away from our shared pain?” The
student hung the signs with reckless disregard for the distress they would cause students of color, and yet — like the Duke incident — the stated
purpose of the act was not malevolence toward students of color, and the fuller context of the act — a class assignment — was not clear at the
time the damage was done.

UB students of color had their welcome temporarily rescinded
Jason Young, associate professor of history, made a critical observation at the Open Forum on Sept. 23 that poignantly framed the student
reaction to the signs. He observed that the signs hung during legal segregation made it easier to know who was allowed to be where. Whites were
allowed to drink from cleaner, more modern fountains and blacks were relegated to older ones and the ones in disrepair. Young went on to point
out that today, without signs visibly segregating facilities, African-Americans are allowed to occupy space that is no longer formally segregated,
but may not be so welcoming. The signs made the welcome — or lack thereof — clear.
.Many undergraduate students of color arrive at UB as young adults with lived experiences of being unwelcome. By the time they arrive at UB,
young men of color are accustomed to being avoided by people — many, but not all of whom are white — who choose to cross the street rather
than encounter them and clutch their purses when unplanned encounters occur in close confines like elevators and stairwells.
Sixty percent of UB’s undergraduate students of color were raised in metropolitan New York City. This means that most of UB’s students of color
came of age in urban areas marked by white flight and intrusive policing. The racial disparities in stop-and-frisk experiences of white youth and
black and Latino youth are well-documented. These disparities were the basis of a lawsuit, Floyd v. City of New York, in which a federal judge

held that the New York Police Department systematically violated the rights of black and Latino New Yorkers through racially discriminatory
policing and racial profiling.

Equally devastating to communities of color is the increasing segregation of neighborhoods in New York and across the nation. Fifty years ago, in
the midst of riots and civil unrest, an advisory committee appointed by President Lyndon Johnson famously concluded: “Our nation is moving
toward two societies, one black, one white — separate and unequal.” Today, even in a much more diverse New York State, white flight,
exclusionary zoning and other practices continue to create black and white neighborhoods, Latino and Asian neighborhoods. And unlike before,
these areas exist in both the cities and the suburbs.
Taking into consideration the lived experiences of students of color prior to their arrival in Buffalo, as well as the bevy of racial incidents taking
place on campuses across the country, is it surprising the signs posted around campus would cause them to question whether they are welcome
at UB? Not really.
Perhaps the most compelling evidence was voiced by students of color at the Open Forum, who spoke with great pride about their allegiance to
UB and talked about the many activities they are involved in at the university. These are not disaffected radicals jumping on yet another
opportunity to criticize the university. These are students who are engaged in classes and activities at UB, and who defend UB to casual critics —
read: friends attending SUNY Buffalo State. They are students who — in their words — “proudly wear the blue and white.”

I sensed in their comments an intense longing for connection to UB and a deep sadness that the hanging of a few signs near water fountains and
bathrooms could so easily cast into doubt the notion that UB is as proud and welcoming of them as they are of UB.

The
Struggle
and
Overcoming
the
Struggle

Greetings President Satish K. Tripathi and University at Buffalo Administration,
Attention: Charles F. Zukoski, Dennis R. Black, and Chair to the Department of Art
From its inception in 1967, The Black Student Union has carried the goal of preserving and
perpetuating African American culture, dignity and self-awareness. As the first minority
organization on the University at Buffalo’s campus, we seek advancements in affiliating and
uplifting individuals through means of education and community involvement. To align with the
execution of these goal, the Black Student Union submits this letter to you on September 25,
2015.

The Black Student Union would like to thank you for extending the invitation to gather student
leaders to discuss last week’s events at length.

On Wednesday, September 17th 2015, The Black Student Union convened for its weekly
general body meeting where students addressed the "White Only" and "Black Only" signs
displayed on campus. At this general body meeting, students expressed feelings of, shock,
grief, and trepidation.
As students shared their responses to the signs, it was evident that these discoveries took an
emotional and psychological toll on the student body of this campus. One student professed to
feeling threatened by the signs and fearing for her life. Another student proclaimed that her
friends, who are also UB students, did not know where to sit at a restaurant at the UB commons
after seeing a “White Only” sign in the vicinity.

There has always been an interplay between artistic expression and crime, and this case is no
different. While graffiti is considered a style of art that has dated back as far as ancient Rome, it
has also been seen as an illegal action. These signs evoked such a mass of negative emotions
from students, and regardless of the intentions, people still suffered.
The Black Student Union stands by its position that this is not art. This project is likened to
human subject experimentation in which all of the general population of our university was
involuntarily exposed to these discriminatory signs.
Ashley Powell voluntarily admitted [in the Black Student Union’s general body meeting
Wednesday, September 17th, 2015] that she is solely responsible for displaying the signs for
the UB art course, Installations in Urban Spaces. The Black Student Union believes the student
body’s right to move freely about the campus appeared to have been impeded on by the very
plain discriminatory message on the signs.

In no way did Powell’s presence in Wednesday’s general body meeting inflate or increase the
meeting’s attendance. The Black Student Union’s general body has been historically supportive
and regularly active in all BSU programs and events. In fact, many other Student Association
organizations were represented in Wednesday’s general body meeting. As the premier student
organization for minority individuals at the University at Buffalo, it is not uncommon for weekly

general body meetings to be widely supported and well-attended. The attendance to
Wednesday’s meeting will not be reduced to Powell’s veiled attempt to incite racial tension. The
minority community at the University at Buffalo stands in solidarity with the Black Student Union.

After Powell’s confession and self identification as a graduate student, the general body
members and other students present in the meeting immediately questioned how said “art
project” was approved and how it could in any way fulfill a legitimate academic purpose.

While others have dismissed the displays offensiveness because it was supported by a
sociocultural theory, the Black Student Union does not excuse the insensitivity of this display.
Moreover, the nationality or ethnicity of Powell does not impact the Black Student Union’s
stance against her work.

However, Powell is not the only person responsible for these displays. The Black Student Union
believes adjunct professor, Warren K. Quigley is also at fault. As students, we expect for faculty
to be knowledgeable on the current academic standards set forth by the university for the array
of respective schools and programs. As students, we also expect faculty’s guidance and sound
judgment as it relates to achieving academic goals. Many students begged the question,’’Did
anyone consider the implications that this ‘art project’ would have on the people at the
University at Buffalo?” Professor Quigley failed to provide the appropriate guidance in this
matter. As a result, the project was carried out and people of all races and creeds remain
profoundly distressed.
If this project is in fact in accordance with any university standard for academic work, a
complete overhaul of these standards must be performed immediately. Failure to reexamine
University policies and procedures that protect the freedoms of students’ academic prowess and
foster a healthy living-learning environment sends a single substandard message... that the
University at Buffalo does not value its minority students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and
affiliates.
Although Ashley Powell and adjunct professor Warren K. Quigley are the cause of this heinous
act, The Black Student Union also finds the University at Buffalo’s Police Department at fault.
The Black Student Union executive board noted a common theme in students’ expressions at
Wednesday’s general body meeting. Students felt: angry, traumatized, unwelcomed, divided,
discriminated against, belittled, dehumanized, fearful, unsure, and unsafe.

Multiple students contacted the University Police Department to report the findings. Later at the
general body meeting Wednesday, students described their interaction with University Police as
disheartening. Students expected for the officers to inquire about other display sightings,
possible sightings of individuals posting the displays, and references to UB Counseling services.
However, University Police officers merely disposed of the “White Only” and “Black Only” signs
in trash receptacles. University Police dispatchers responding via telephone dismissed the
students’ feelings of fear by making insensitive statements like: “Why are you so upset over a

sign?” Which does not reflect UB’s official statement: “UB is a safe place that values diversity.
Review is underway." (Twitter, @UBnow Thursday September 17, 2015; 4:24pm) Not only
were responses such as this grossly inappropriate coming from public officials who are sworn to
protect and serve the student body, their passivity to the historical context of these signs is
equally disheartening and disturbing.
The Black Student Union and the minority community fully expect that the administration of the
University at Buffalo address each of the following questions publically, candidly, and with
urgency:

What is art at UB?
What is academic freedom?
Does academic freedom justify or create room for racially charged art forms?
Does academic freedom endorse unconscionable recreations of historically divisive
work?
5. Is our welcome, as people of color, at UB only as extensive as the next art project?
6. Where does the University draw the line between freedom of expression and overt
demonstrations of cultural trauma?

1.
2.
3.
4.

In conclusion, the Black Student Union fully expects that:
1. President Satish K. Tripathi immediately address the aforementioned six questions and
insist that this work is not art.
2. President Satish K. Tripathi articulate University at Buffalo’s vision for inclusion that
encompasses matters like this during his Annual State of the University Address.
3. The Chair of the Art Department actively re-evaluate policies and procedures currently in
place concerning art installations.
4. University administration review, revise and train the University Police officers and
dispatchers to respond to harmful acts more sufficiently
a. Address why University Police officers merely disposed of displays in trash
receptacles as opposed to inquiring about other display sightings, possible
sightings of individuals posting the displays, and references to UB counseling
services
b. Address University Police dispatchers insensitive responses to concerned
students
The Black Student Union will not stand idly by as new developments of racially charged
interactions continuously take place in the UB community. The Black Student Union will not be
silent and will remain steadfast in upholding the principles our organization was established
upon in 1967.
This letter serves as a means to convey the message that the student body’s concerns will not
be minimized. The Black Student Union will not rest until the above expectations are actively
and effectively pursued.

                    <text>UB Reviewing Controversial Art Project
11:20 P.M. EDT September 16, 2015

UB is reviewing an art project that caused a campus debate.
Buffalo, N.Y. - The University at Buffalo is reviewing a student art project that caused a debate on campus
on Wednesday.

As a part of her class, an African-American art student briefly posted "White Only" and "Black Only" signs in

Clemens Hall, making a point about white privilege and accountability.
The signs circulated quickly on social media, which led to heavy backlash-- including from members of the
Black Student Union.
University Police initially began investigating. The art student told 2 On Your Side she would contact police to

clear up the issue.

The student also expressed remorse for offending people, but stressed that her signs were intended as an

artistic message and nothing more.

"The University is continuing to review this matter through appropriate university policies and procedures," a spokesperson said.

BSU protests Tripathi's address, looks for further
response to 'White Only'art project
Photos By

President Satish Tripathi held his fourth
annual State of the University Address on
Friday morning, but the speech was over
shadowed by a protest in the audience.
Members of the Black Student Union
(BSU) held a peaceful protest during and
after the address in response to the “White
Only” and “Black Only” signs hung around
campus by graduate fine arts student Ash
ley Powell last month. Students stood and
raised white posters that read “We Want
Answers” and left early to stand in the Slee
Hall lobby and protest as people grabbed
refreshments Friday.
Tripathi has met with student leader
ship, including BSU and the People of Col
or Council, and wrote an open letter to the
student body in The Spectrum about the proj
ect — but BSU wants more.
Before the address, BSU posted a series
of questions on social media they wanted
Tripathi to answer “publically, candidly and
with urgency,” such as, “What is art? What
is academic freedom? [and] Where does the
university draw the line between freedom
of expression and overt demonstration of
cultural trauma?” BSU also said it expect
ed Tripathi to address University Police dis
patchers’ “insensitive responses to con
cerned individuals” who called to report
the signs.
Tiffany Vera, BSU secretary and a senior
speech and hearing science major, said she
appreciates Tripathi’s acknowledgement of
the issue but wanted him to answer BSU’s
questions and address its concerns sooner.
“We designed this peaceful protest to
show Tripathi that we aren’t coming at him
in a violent, aggressive or hostile way but
we want to show them we are serious about
what we want to accomplish,” Vera said.
“We want things to be done not just for us
but for all People of Color organizations
and all UB students.”
After he concluded his address, Tripathi
said he supports the students’ protest.
“I think [the protest] is really good and
it is good for them to do what they feel is
right,” Tripathi said. “We are looking at all
of these points from all angles, from the
faculty, freedom of speech and the First
Amendment.”
During the address, Tripathi told the au
dience that College of Arts and Sciences is
dealing with this “difficult conversation and
[is] determining the boundaries.”

Tripathi also touched on positive news in
his address as he emphasized UB’s recent
achievements, from three Mid-American
Conference Championships won last year
to the newly named Jacobs School of Med
icine and Biomedical Sciences to UB’s low
student debt.
He emphasized UB’s “points of pride,”
such as the Communities of Excellence and
the School of Dental Medicine and ap
plauded the UB students succeeding in
both the science, technology, engineer
ing and mathematics (STEM) fields and on
Broadway.
He noted that UB’s graduation rates are
above the national average and the Finish in
4 program is a success in helping students
graduate on time.
Tripathi also brought up the lack of at
tention to South Campus. He said UB plans
for ensuring a safer community on South
Campus to reflect the success of UB’s two
other campuses.
He said the construction of the down
town campus has caused a population def
icit on South Campus and because of this,
UB is moving the Graduate School of Edu
cation and School of Social Work to South
Campus.
Throughout the majority of Tripathi’s ad
dress, he reiterated the importance of “Buf
falo’s renaissance.”
But BSU feels there are other changes
that need to be made first.
Vera said BSU wants to work with UB to
fulfill its expectations but feels that Tripathi
and the administration aren’t pursuing the
issue enough.
According to Deidree Golbourne, BSU
vice president and a junior African Ameri
can studies major, Tripathi will not be able

to meet with BSU until Nov. 4. Golbourne
said she wants something to be addressed
in the meantime.
“What about before that? The conversa
tion ceased after the forum but there’s still a
lot to talk about,” Golbourne said.

Tripathi said he looks forward to meet
ing with BSU members to continue the dis
cussion.

                    <text>*Editorial* Students want more from their president - and they should

[Spectrum 10/12/15]

Students seek inspiration and leadership
from their president when their university
faces complex problems and controversy.
At UB, it’s becoming increasingly clear that
our president is failing us.
The Black Student Union’s (BSU) pro
test during and after President Satish Tripa
thi’s annual address Friday was yet another
example of the disconnect and divide be
tween Tripathi and the student body.
Although BSU students held banners and
staged a walk out, their president - ourpres
ident — failed to even take note of them or
acknowledge them in real time. He simply
went on talking and praising the universi
ty’s achievements as if the living, breathing,
angry students in front of him were invisi
ble. He calmly finished his state of the uni
versity speech, woodenly mentioning that
the College of Arts and Sciences is dealing
with the “difficult conversation” and is “de
termining the boundaries” between freedom

of speech and cultural taboos.
Only afterward, when asked about the
protest, did he say he supported students’
right to protest,
What sort of message should we stu
dents take from that?
What sort of leadership is that?
Does our president see us at all?
BSU and other students are disappoint
ed with the university’s response to graduate
fine art student Ashley Powell’s art project,
in which she hung “White Only” and “Black
Only” signs around campus last month. But
they and we are also stunned by Tripathi’s
impersonal handling of the situation.
When the controversy first erupted,
Tripathi did not attend the BSU forum held
to discuss the signs nor listen to the anger
the signs stirred in students. A week after
the incident, after major newspapers across
the country, including The New York Times,
wrote about the controversy — and after

this newspaper voiced concern that he had
not responded adequately to students — he
issued a formal letter which acknowledged
the problem and outlined the difficulty the
project presented to a university trying to
balance sensitivity to minorities with free
dom of speech. He did not take a firm
stand or even present a timeline when the
university would create a policy.
“These questions won’t be answered
overnight. It will take time, effort, and care
ful consideration on each of our parts to
address them. But doing so is of critical im
portance for all of us, and will have lasting
value,” Tripathi wrote in his open letter to
The Spectrum on Sept. 24.
In the letter, he told students he could
not attend the BSU forum because he was
traveling to Albany on SUNY business.
Could he not have sent a representative?
Where was the provost? A vice provost?
When President Obama cannot attend an

important meeting, he sends Vice President
Biden or another member of his cabinet.
Tripathi’s absence — and the absence of
any of his representatives — says to students
that they and their concerns don’t matter.
Tripathi did meet with student leaders,
including BSU, on Sept. 21, however, he
cannot meet with BSU again until early No
vember because of an extended trip, BSU
Vice President Deidree Golbourne told The
Spectrum Friday.
Is he hoping students will forget? If so,
he’s wrong.
BSU wants the university to take a stance.
They don’t necessarily want retribution
or for Powell to be punished — although
they do want some recognition of their
hurt and anger. More than anything, they
want to feel that their university hears their
concerns.

They want a president who shows
he cares and understands their
needs.
At its best, a university does this.
It empowers its students to raise
their voices. It encourages them
to face problems as a community
through open dialogue.
Dialogue is hard to have with an
empty chair.
In 2013, the last time we surveyed
students about UB leadership, 82
percent said Tripathi has minimal
presence on campus. Some students
said they had never seen him. A few
didn’t know his name.
We addressed this directly with
Tripathi last spring. He said it comes
down to “perceptions.”
“Perceptions are important but
they’re just perceptions,” Tripa
thi told The Spectrum. “I’m on the
campus, multiple events every
week, where there are some stu
dents there. I’m in the Commons,
in the Student Union building hav
ing lunch ... But I’m meeting with
student groups all the time actual
ly, and I think it’s important for me
to talk to students to find out what
their concerns are.”
Last week, students showed Tripa
thi their concerns via a walkout.
He can improve this by being a
vigorous advocate for students and
giving attention to the issues they
care about.
Tripathi may very well be taking
this issue very seriously. He may
very well be upset his students are
angry and uncomfortable. He and
the administration may feel they are
doing enough.
But students clearly don’t agree.
Tripathi has an opportunity to
get involved with student affairs on
campus and show the UB commu
nity that he listens to the student
body.
He should take it.

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;

&#13;
Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;
&#13;
Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;
