PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- A group of Providence College students will hold a press conference Wednesday to protest what they say is a hostile climate for minority students and faculty.
The forum will be at 3 p.m. outside the main gates on River Avenue.
Students say there have been multiple incidents of racial profiling on campus by campus security. One professor says she received a series of threatening emails after she announced a new social justice award.
Students say the university has done little to address these concerns.
The Coalition Against Racism is asking the administration to do four things: train campus security in racial awareness, send an email to the entire campus condemning the harassment of the faculty member, create a for-credit class on race relations and implement a policy prohibiting racial profiling by campus security.
