DAYTON

More than 60 students and activists marched through the Wright State University campus in southwest Ohio, squeezing into administrative offices and demanding that the president meet with them to discuss rights for black students.

The protesters said they gathered at the Dayton campus Thursday to support their peers at the University of Missouri who have demonstrated recently over black student rights. They also said they wanted to raise awareness of “institutionalized racism” at Wright State.

The group marched from building to building on campus to decry “white privilege” and the “culture of mistreatment” toward black students, according to the Dayton Daily News.
