Students at the University of Minnesota are demanding changes to policing on campus.
On Friday, organizers from the group Students For a Democratic Society held a rally on U of M President Joan Gabel s home lawn. We re here and we re going to continue to fight until we get our demands met, said Jalisa Sang, a freshman at the University of Minnesota.
These students are demanding Gabel take action against the U of M Police Department. The presence of police there just makes me feel unsafe and uneasy, Sang said.
Students have a handful of demands including the creation of a CPAC, or a Civilian Police Accountability Council, which would include students and community members.
