Your claim, Regent Acker, is flat-out inaccurate. Here are the facts, though we’ve noticed that you and the other U-M administrators can’t seem to use the words “Black students” anymore.

Black Student Union statement at @umich.edu
“Santa Ono and the regents are perfectly comfortable subjecting Black students on this campus to the growing racism and anti-Blackness that runs rampant in this country, and we don’t have the backbone to even attempt to defend us against rising fascism.”
