This led to the arrest of two individuals, which prompted the Southern Student Action Coalition to respond byin an Instagram post: “STUDENTS ARRESTED AS UNC BOG GUTS DEI‼ Two Black students were BRUTALLY arrested after being denied entry to a ‘public’ UNC Board of Governors meeting this morning. The UNC System is a threat to student safety.”
Additionally, the group released a statement that read: “Today, the predominantly white UNC Board of Governors, appointed by the overwhelmingly white North Carolina General Assembly repealed a policy meant to support marginalized students and arrested two Black students who were unlawfully denied entry to the public meeting where the vote was being conducted.”
“It is clear that they are actively trying to silence Black voices and overturn any advancements from the Civil Rights movement,” the group continued.
