An emergency meeting was held Wednesday night to discuss the reassignment of the university's Associate Provost for Equity and Diversity Dr. Cordell Black. He has held the position for 18 years, and has made a lasting difference on this campus. A walkout in support of the Associate Provost is scheduled for 12 p.m. Thursday starting at the Nyumburu Cultural Center and ending at the Main Administration Building.

Here are some pictures  from the meeting.
