"Activists are pressing college administrators to make homes out of such homelessness" @andrewllindsay in @nytimes https://t.co/5kfgJ65BpJ

@artamble @StevenSJacobsCA Students merely just dont want their mascot to be Lord Jeff AKA an advocate for extermination of Native Americans

[Amherst Uprising @UprisingAmherst]

@artamble @StevenSJacobsCA Our school and town is named after Jeffrey Amherst. There is no historical erasure here.

@CSimrak That is an attack on the dignity expounded by the Amherst College honor code.

[Amherst Uprising @UprisingAmherst]

@CSimrak Because that infringes upon the rights of minority students to enjoy the community in ways equal to that of other types of students

[Amherst Uprising @UprisingAmherst]

@CSimrak Therefore when community norms for racial injury are below a certain level Amherst College administrators are obliged to respond

[Amherst Uprising @UprisingAmherst]

@CSimrak In our honor code respect for the dignity of the individual is regarded as one of the highest goods.

[Amherst Uprising @UprisingAmherst]

@CSimrak We have the discretion to write an honor code that describes our community in a particular way that sets and norms and values

[Amherst Uprising @UprisingAmherst]

@CSimrak It's not that we don’t have constitutional rights but as a private college,

[Amherst Uprising @UprisingAmherst]

@CSimrak And when they are injuries to the Amherst College community whether race based, related to age, etc. there should be consequences

[Amherst Uprising @UprisingAmherst]

@CSimrak We believe in the values expounded in our honor code

[Amherst Uprising @UprisingAmherst]

@CSimrak We talk about the handbook as a contract between the college and its student body.
