‘Racist repression’: UCLA students protest professor for opposing race-based admissionsUniversity of California Los Angeles law students protested against a professor who opposes race-based college admissions, describing his position as “racist repression” at a rally Thursday on campus.The protest targeted law Professor Richard Sander who, along with a group of students and parents, recently filed a lawsuit alleging the University of California is discriminating against white and Asian American students in its admissions process, the Daily Bruin reports.“What we’re doing is essentially rejecting Richard Sander and his position on campus as well as all that stands behind that – all of the racist repression,” law student Noah Massillon told the student newspaper.The UCLA Black Law Students Association and other student groups organized the protest.Students held signs that named Richard and mentioned “diversity” and “discrimination,” the student newspaper reports:
The students chanted, “Whose University? Our University,” and, “When we stand up, we get power. When we get power, they get scared.”Malik Marshall, a law student who led the rally, said in a speech that California passed Proposition 209 – which made affirmative action illegal in the college admissions process – to “erase” Black students. …Brendan Wong, a law student at UCLA, said in a speech that Sander’s lawsuit seeks to drive a wedge between Asian American students and other students of color to serve his personal agenda.“To all Asians and Asian Americans, I want to encourage you to think about who truly has our best interests in mind and who is using us and weaponizing our identities,” said Wong, the social chair of the Asian/Pacific Islander Law Students Association at UCLA. “I urge you to speak up, to speak up for our communities and for others.”
