With a gathering at the Russell Union billed as a walkout Tuesday and further actions today, African-American students are drawing attention to what they see as evidences of racism at Georgia Southern University and serving university officials with a list of demands. Among those demands, instead of calling for a university president to be fired, as happened recently at the University of Missouri, the NAACP student chapter is demanding that interim GSU President Jean Bartels be hired as Georgia Southern’s continuing president. Over social media, the Georgia Southern NAACP called Tuesday’s 11:45 a.m. gathering a “Black Out, Walk Out,” with students to walk out of class and meet at the student union.
