The last five days have been a storm of allegations of racism and disrespect after President James Ramsey and staff donned “Mexican” costumes at a recent Halloween event. Ramsey has since sent an email apology to the university community. Students, faculty, and staff gathered again today in response to the controversy surrounding President Ramsey.
Today, eight students representing the diverse student body met with Ramsey to discuss the issue, but emerged angry and disappointed by the exchange. Media, including The Cardinal, were banned from the conversation.
The student representatives said their voices were not heard inside the meeting.
