Black Student Union

College black student union members at colleges universities are losing their rights to be in black student union because of the DEI paying tax funds in 2024.

Black Student Union announced that the group would no longer have a designated place on campus, in compliance with recent statewide legislation that prohibits public universities and state agencies from allocating resources to diversity equity and inclusion programs  often referred to as DEI.

¨Protesting is also one of the best way I could think of to help keep black student union.¨ Said Carver Student Suhayla Roache 

BSU’s statement also addressed the importance of creating Black Student Unions and their mission. Black Student Union was created to become a safe space to our peers and inform them about our history ". Said Ms.Moore-Almond

"You don't realize how assuring a space like that is until it's gone” Said a student from Alabama University

I really enjoy black student union. I feel like the club helps me open up and express my feelings with my community.Said Suhayla Roache 11th grader 

“To all students who have felt lost … We have not forgotten about you, and we will continue fighting for your place at the University of Utah and beyond,” the BSU concluded.

Black student Union is a safe space that is needed for our peers.We come together to celebrate our black community. This club is needed. Said Suhayla Roache

"Even though we did lose our space, we want to say it does not define us. It just means that we're going to have to work harder as a community," 

“I really love black student union and I can't imagine losing it.” Said Suhayla Roache
