Vet students stand up to racism

According to Iowa State Daily, Iowa State University Student Government was visited by several College of Veterinary Medicine students concerning racism. 

A second-year Veterinary Medicine student, Allison Culver, expressed her frustration.

"I'm disappointed, and I'm ashamed of many of the people at our school," Culver said. "I shouldn't have to be here the night before an exam, none of us should, but we are here because this is important. The things that have happened at Veterinary College at my roughly year and a half of attendance, just like Karen, are extremely concerning if I'm going to put it lightly and horrible if I'm going, to be honest."

Karen Chen, a second-year Veterinary Medicine student, mentioned a racist meme that had been posted on the CVM class Facebook page.

Shortly after open forum finished, the bill to censur the CVM administration passed by a vote of 29-0-0.

The bill included a push for  administration to commit to contribute to inclusive work and learning environments, correspondences be direct and specific when addressing attacks upon marginalized communities, review existing policies regarding diversity and inclusion, among other resolutions.
