features | November 30, 2015
The racially driven protests at Ithaca College this fall have rocked the upstate New York campus like few other events in the school's 123-year history. For many student journalists, covering a conflict that has made national headlines would be a dream.But for Kira Maddox, the college newspaper’s editor-in-chief, leading the coverage has come with mixed feelings. As a biracial woman, she empathizes with student protestors of color. As a journalist, she's charged with getting all sides of the story right.
news analysis | November 30, 2015
Protests about racial tensions on campus have erupted this fall at schools across the country. At the University of Missouri, two leaders were forced to resign. At Brown University, officials are putting $100 million behind a plan to create a more inclusive campus. At Ithaca College, where students and faculty are trying to remove the president, the way forward is less clear. Students opened up about how they talk about race — and what they’re taking away from the protests.

At Ithaca College, students say the climate on campus was tense and unwelcoming to students of color long before the protests at the University of Missouri took the national spotlight. As at Missouri, students at Ithaca say the president, Tom Rochon, can’t move the campus forward. But unlike the embattled University of Missouri president, Rochon says he’s stepping up — not stepping down.

The protests in Baltimore aren’t just about Freddie Gray's death and police brutality. They're about the racialized poverty and dearth of opportunity in parts of the city, such as the Sandtown neighborhood where Gray grew up. The numbers tell some of that tale: The city's median household income is well under the Maryland average, the number of abandoned houses swelled in the past decades and the city's public schools are 'hypersegregated' by race.
