In a show of unity and force, multiple University of Texas athletes from various sports posted a series of requests on social media Friday that, if enacted, would radically alter the racial landscape at the school.
Athletes posted a typed, two-page letter on Twitter that was not signed by any individual. The letter says, “On behalf of the UT student athletes, we ask to have the following issues addressed through the implementation or a plan for implementation at the start of the fall semester.”
“The recent events across the country regarding racial injustice have brought to light the systemic racism that has always been prevalent in our country as well as the racism that has historically plagued our campus,” the letter states.
