The money that paid for Alex's SAT classes, writing tutor and science camps may have been largely a product of Alex's parents' hard work, but their whiteness played a role in their success, and by extension, Alex's academic profile." affirmative action racial diversity student activism Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

But, of course, why would anyone care where a tall black, dreadlocked stranger with bronchitis will spend the night on minus X degrees or so." "Even if I was homeless, so what? I noticed how in American sick and twisted society being homeless is tolerated less than being a corrupt politician or ruthless law enforcement official. Americans need to be educated that NOBODY asked for or wanted to become homeless. I am shocked how many Americans in fact believe exactly that. This is why police on Nov. 21, 2011, on the night of the eviction suspected I am homeless, on top of being black with dreads, treated me as trash, not letting me say anything in my defense. It is so clear for the reasons for racism and classism why I was not given the benefit of the doubt. The officers who shamelessly taunted me of being homeless also reprimanded me for trimming my hair in a male bathroom." campus culture police brutality racism student life Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Trespass order creates controversy Subject The topic of the resource A No Trespass order issued by Public Safety to a Black man caused significant student outcry. The man in question, 28-year-old Luaay Elamir was being hosted by Brett Smith '13. On November 21st, Public Safety received a call alleging public indecency and urination, regarding Elamir. Pubsafe officers then came to Stewart Hall (the dorm that Elamir was being hosted in by Smith), and questioned Smith on the location of Elamir (he was in town at the time). Pubsafe then involved the Middlebury Police Department. He was eventually located in Davis Library, where "two MPD officers and the officer-in-training escorted Elamir into the lobby of the Davis Family Library, where they waited for two Public Safety officers to arrive". This totaled the number at 5 officials, a completely unnecessary amount considering the impetus for the No Trespass Order. They then escorted him back to Stewart Hall, where he packed up his belongings, and then left.

I don't know if that's true."- Clements "Buchard agreed that there was no need for five officers to be present in the library, and plans to discuss this with the MPD in order to avoid future situations where more officers are sent on a case than are necessary." "'Officer [Neil} Mogerley [of the MPD] said that he would arrest all of us if we did not leave the building,' said Koplinka- Loehr in his statement. 'Despite [Smith]'s limited mobility...they continued to rush us and push for a faster pace, saying that we were wasting their time." "In this case, however, Buchard said that the officers were following procedures correctly. Callender did feel, however, that had Elamir been a white male, his treatment would have been less acceptable and caused greater outcry." administrative action police brutality racism Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
