More than 100 protesters gathered at Traditions Plaza at 9 a.m. Monday to demonstrate against cuts to coordinator positions at MU’s Department of Social Justice centers.
Protest leaders said their goal was to catch tours as they showed prospective students around the MU campus. At Jesse Hall, student protesters spoke out about the importance of the centers and what the cuts would mean.
The protesters moved from the plaza to the steps of Jesse Hall, chanting, “Justice for justice” and “save the centers.”
“As a victim of rape who needs the RSVP and Title IX Center, I do not feel supported by the campus,” one student said. “I do not feel safe.”
