CSULA Commits to Hiring Psychologists for Black Students
CSULA Commits to Hiring Psychologists for Black Students

Just when we thought things couldn’t get any stranger at CSULA,
the president announced he would be caving to the extravagant and
bizarre demands of the campus’ Black Student Union. University
President William Covino officially confirmed that the school will
be implementing a number of institutional changes in the name of
“ fairness and justice” and in direct response to a set of
demands released by the CSULA Black Student Union.
From the BSU press release: “The Following have been achieved since the Black Student Union
presented their demands to President William A. Covino in November
of 2015: “1. California State University, Los Angeles has agreed to
DIVEST from all Private Prison corporations! The investment
committee has eliminated any holdings in the private prison
corporations at the direction of the President. This is a historic
and significant victory for Black communities and makes Cal State
L.A. the third university to divest from private prisons and the
second public institution to do so following UC’s recent decision
to divest at the urging of the Afrikan Black Coalition. “2. The Director of Housing has been asked to work with
administration and the BSU in creating, and developing, a Black
Scholars’ living learning community. We expect the development of
the Black Scholars Hall to take place prior to the Fall 2016
term. “3. The president has agreed to allocate $100,000 to the Cross
Cultural Centers to be divided between the four student centers
effective January 1, 2016. We expect this allocation to be
permanent. “4. Beginning in fall 2016, all students will be required to
complete one diversity course and one race and ethnicity
course. “5. The President has agreed to allocate $100,000 for staffing
and other costs to increase the yield of Black students who get
accepted into Cal State L.A. for Fall 2016, and an additional
$100,000 for the recruitment of Black students for Fall 2017. We
expect these allocations of $200,000 in total to be permanent. “6. The president has committed to the hiring of new staff
psychologists who have demonstrated experience in working with
Black students.” To recap, CSULA has decided to kowtow to exaggerated leftists
demands by establishing segregated learning communities, throwing
money at the “problem,” forcing all students to take
mandatory diversity courses, and hiring psychologists
specifically for black students. Racism has been cured at
CSULA. In all serious, though, President Covino is just another in a
line of administrators who’ve caved to leftist demands, hoping
they’ll be satiated. The problem, however, is that leftist mobs are never satiated. Give them $100,000 and they’ll ask for double. Luckily, however, Young America’s Foundation is here to help,
and to provide a dose of sanity to CSULA. On February
25th , YAF will be sending conservative provocateur Ben
Shapiro to CSULA, as part of the Fred R. Allen lecture series.
Despite the fact that leftists on campus have already
claimed that Ben’s lecture will “damage their mental
health,” he’s sure to provide a bit of common sense that is
severely lacking at CSULA. Said CSULA Young Americans for Freedom chairman Mark Kahanding,
who is himself of minority descent, “The black student union is
making demands that will have a huge negative impact on the school.
The most egregious demand is the demand to make mandatory
‘diversity’ courses, where every student will now have to take a
diversity course and a race course. These classes indoctrinate
students, telling them that they are being oppressed and ‘weak’
because of ‘racism.’ Under the banner of ‘diversity’ the black
student union is getting away with more money for their own use. I
look forward to seeing Ben Shapiro come and expose these ‘tolerant’
liberals for what they really are.” Want to bring conservatism and sanity to your campus? Contact us today!
