Barnard Student defends officers, says claims black student was confronted purely because of race 'appalling'

Even Barnard College's administrators joined students and other observers in condemning the actions of the school's public safety officers during an April 11 confrontation with a black male. But now a Barnard student has come forward to say that it was unfair to condemn the officers' actions as racist.

Barnard is hardly the first higher education institution to deal with a video that cast the school in a poor light. Colleges' responses to these incidents can come under heavy scrutiny, and within days, Barnard announced disciplinary action against the security officers. Raum told Newsweek that it was"inappropriate and irresponsible" for people to make a quick judgment and in the future, it should be discouraged. However, she added that her opinion on rushing to judgment didn't take away that students may have had problems with public safety.

Several public safety officers involved with a confrontation with a black Columbia University student were placed on leave. While many cited the most recent encounter as another example of on-campus racism, some students defended the officers. Google Maps Students organized an “Anti-Blackphobia Protest,” which garnered support from several groups, including the Columbia University Democrats. The group posted on Facebook that black students and nonblack students have different relationships with Public Safety. The confrontation with McNab, the student group said, demonstrated that Columbia and Barnard “have not done nearly enough to remedy” the relationship between black students and campus police.

The Student-Debt Crisis Hits Hardest at Historically Black CollegesLong a path to financial security, traditionally African-American schools are now producing graduates who struggle with disproportionately high debt. ‘The odds are kind of stacked up against me.’ It’s so hard to start your adult life with huge student loans hanging over your head. I wish you the best. People need to really start thinking about the quality of an education, not simply thinking that going to college is a golden ticket. Colleges are spending way too much time collecting your money and just being social justice warrior outlets instead of focusing on teaching This is not a student loan issue. Look at the school, why are they charging so much in tuition? A historically black college is out to rob the students, this is what is happening.
