Gervais Baptiste Speaks at Black Student Alliance Protest Black excellence comments at a Florida Gulf Coast University Student Government meeting lead to a protest on campus this week.
Update 02-09-2021: The word excellence was left in the description, but after Tuesday’s demonstration, another senate meeting took place, where student government senator Nick Shepeard was issued four discipline points.
A request was also made to form an impeachment committee, which would investigate whether or not Shepeard violated the student government Constitution, or other student government rules.
The “Melanin Week” bill was passed with a 32-0 vote, without any further discussion on the language.
