    Not much to see. Lot of fat and ugly entitled kids.

    Is it sound proof? I sort of envision a room with colorful anechoic walls, filled with artsy crafty stuff featuring no images of human or males, on padded "safety" tables.

    I can actually see one reasonable demand, although it should be a request. And that would be a small waste can in the stalls. Hell it might even save them money over paying plumbers to come snake the lines when they get plugged from tampons/pads.

    I think they ALL should be requests.
    Someplace WANTS to put tampons out, feel free.
    Someplace WANTS more garbage cans, feel free.

    Except for the segregated area. How the heck is that progress?

    I do agree that they should all be requests. There is no doubt of that.
    I also agree about segregation. I slightly disagree with the trashcans, there is some responsibility on the university to provide a modicum of necessities and imo trashcans are one of them. Which is why I said I saw one reasonable thing to request, I didn't say it should necessarily be granted but that it seemed to me to be a reasonable request.

    It's a 19 page list of demands.
    School staff, residence assistants, Greek associations, et al, must receive "Cultural Competency and Safe Zone training." A general student emergency fund that does not get charged as debt to the student -- that is, $35,000 for each Cultural and Resource Center.
    More financial aid to marginalized "identities," along with a full time financial aid counselor for each group.
    Increase in financial support for students with food insecurity.
    Counselors of color for Campus Mental and Physical Health Services.
    All restrooms should include small trash cans in all stalls, free tampons, and free menstrual pads.
    In addition to free condoms, Dental Dams, external and internal condoms, and ​Pre­exposure prophylaxis (​PrEP) must be accessible through Campus Health.
    Implementation of Trigger Warnings within course materials and content.
    Correct pronouns to be respected within classroom settings and gender neutral restrooms.
    Specific religious "spaces" specific to student demographics, including Native students to "practice Spirituality."
    Deferred housing fees for ALL Black students.
    A revision and transparent posting of the consequences and processes for students, faculty, staff who are found to be involved with microaggressions, aggressions, and hate speech in the classroom, on campus, and online.
    Allow only black students to occupy the Martin Luther King Jr. Building, plus new renovations to the building.
    Child care facilities.
    Rape victim advocacy and stiffer punishments for sexual misconduct.
    Diversify faculty, school promotions, curriculum and all administrative practices to represent these "marginalized" groups.

    Yep and as you may have noticed I stated I saw one (well actually part of one) that imo was a reasonable request. Although going through it again, I noticed one more that could be a reasonable request. That was prompt notification when there is criminal acts that may effect student safety, it does depend on what they mean by crimes though. If they are talking muggings and rape and such yes which for the most part their examples were, if they are referring to "hurtful words" then no.

    I've been told recently that words hurt as bad as violence.

    Maybe if you are beating someone with a printed sign, otherwise

    The most amazing thing is that they endlessly demand that the college provide all of these sorts of things, all the while complaining about the high cost of college, and insisting that you are stupid if you don't agree with them.

    Sounds like socialism, doesn't it?
