One of our first initiatives has been to create a list of demands in order to increase student access to basic needs on our campus. We are hoping they will be met by the end of the semester. Stay tuned as we post more specifics about each demand!
Hello!
We are a new student coalition at the university of Tennessee—Students Protecting Student Funding. You might be familiar with SPSF, the process used to allocate funds for programming. We are comprised of students orgs who want a better funding system and student-run
Attention Attention All Fed Up Students of UTK, instead of BOF we’re going to Black it Out! Take pictures and tweet/post using the hashtags #BlackIstheNewOrange and #blackoUT. They won’t shut us up that easy
✊🏾✊🏾
A lot of people will be mad at those protesting students without stopping to ask them what they’re upset about in the first place, which is unfortunate.
There will be news stories about that tonight. Right now I’m gonna cover the game.
But those students are protesting racism. And they have more than enough evidence to back up their case.
But I’m covering the game right now.
As a @tennalum I am SUPER DISAPPOINTED in this response. Perhaps so much so that I will rethink giving to the @UTKnoxville fund. As an attorney and a person with access to @Google I know that hate speech is not protected in the constitution. #failed
@tennalum @TNAlumnus All ALUMS: Please take notice of @utDivMatters response to the blackface incident. Giving to @UTKnoxville is supporting this position. This is a weak position unbecoming of our school. #MoneyTalks
