This cheat sheet and timeline provide a working overview of how things look right now and include highlights from some of the most high-profile campus protests. We will be periodically updating it throughout the year. (The protests’ exact dates are often hard to nail down, so unless otherwise noted, the ones summarized below are organized in reverse chronological order by the day on which protesters published their demands; doing so helps ensure a consistent national comparison.) While the schools mentioned below have gotten national media attention, students at about 60 schools nationwide—from Occidental College in California, to the University of Alabama—have submitted lists of demands to their respective universities. A running list of those schools can be found here.

Harvard University

What: A group of students initially issued a list of demands back in December 2014, but the school’s racial tensions reemerged on the public radar in November 2015 after portraits of Harvard Law Schools’ black professors were each covered with a piece of black tape. Hundreds of law-school students, faculty, staff, and administrators subsequently gathered to condemn the law school’s “racist and unwelcoming environment.” The same tape had previously been used by activists from the group Royall Must Fall to cover the law school’s seal in several locations on campus. The seal included the family crest of Isaac Royall Jr., “wealthy and ruthless slaveholder.” By December, Law School Dean Martha Minow had formed a special committee to deliberate over whether the school should abandon the seal, and in March, that committee recommended that the school scrap the seal. The shield had become “a source of division rather than commonality in our community,” Minow was quoted as saying. “We believe that if the law school is to have an official symbol, it must more closely represent the values of the law school, which the current shield does not.” Meanwhile, Harvard College in February decided to replace the title “house master”—criticized by some for being antiquated and associated with slavery—with “faculty dean.”

Who: Royall Must Fall, Harvard Black Law Student Association, Chan School Justice

Aftermath: Campus police are still investigating the vandalism. Administrators, including Minow and Harvard President Drew Faust, said they’re committed to making the Ivy League college a more inclusive place. Last year, the school created a working group on diversity and inclusion, and on November 20th, a day after the vandalism was discovered, officials released the group’s report. It recommended more diversity at the college and better support for affinity-based students groups on campus and in multicultural centers, among other proposals.

Princeton University

What: Students staged a 32-hour protest and sit-in, taking over President Christopher Eisgruber’s office. They issued a set of demands, including calls for the university to revisit how it treats Woodrow Wilson’s “racist legacy,” but in April the university’s Board of Trustees voted to retain his name on the public-policy school and a residential college. (The 28th president supported racial segregation and opposed efforts during the civil-rights era to combat discrimination.) Some of the students’ efforts focused on raising cultural awareness through required courses and supporting students of color by creating a space on campus tailored to their needs. The protest ended when Eisgruber signed a document conceding to some of their requests. (A list of the protesters’ demands can be found here.)
