UVM students call for resignations over white pride signs

BURLINGTON — More than 200 student protesters descended on the main administrative building at the University of Vermont Tuesday demanding reforms and the resignations of top officials.

The rally came after UVM, along with other Vermont campuses and universities nationwide deal with an ongoing rash of racially charged, anonymously posted signs.

At UVM, small signs with slogans like “innocent lives matter, not guilty ones,” and “white privelaged [sic] and proud of it” were taped last Thursday on a section of a display case in the student center that contains information about the Mosaic Center for Students of Color.
