University of Minnesota students could face disciplinary action for chanting and holding signs at Coffman Union’s second floor ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this semester.
Members of the Whose Diversity? student group led the protest and say the University is threatening unwarranted punishments for their March 12 demonstration, but administrators say they’re simply following protocol.
“The charges were not founded,” said senior Tori Hong, a Whose Diversity? member. “All we really did was ask questions and hold up signs.”
