Last week, Black Lives at Mudd (BLAM) emailed a resolution to the Harvey Mudd (HMC) community “demand[ing] that the institution be held responsible for the harm caused to the Black student body of Harvey Mudd College.”

Pomona College’s Black Student Union (BSU) held a town hall attended by hundreds of students last Wednesday night, alleging that black students had been “subjected to hateful experiences on this campus, experiences that range from microaggressions to explicit hate speech to moments that feel like racial violence” and “persecuted in and out of the classroom for simply existing.”
