UMass Amherst professor talks to students about May 2024 student protests

University of Massachusetts Amherst students Paige Hanson, Rylee Davis and Laleh Panahi talk to UMass professor of sociology and labor studies Cedric de Leon about the protests on campus in May 2024, why he thinks the goal of divestment is important and why he thinks the school administration mishandled the situation. “It is the most disgraceful thing that I’ve ever seen on a university campus.”

Such an excellent video with thoughtful words by a respected and skilled educator. I’ve had a class with Cedric and he was an amazing professor. Thanks to everyone who helped make this video!

Interesting that he doesn’t realize the administration has never been transparent about anything. Keep voting Democrat.
