Students at the University of South Carolina staged a walkout Monday, issuing a list of demands that included increasing racial diversity on campus and providing gender-neutral housing.

The protesters’ demands are similar to the ones made by protesters at Amherst, Yale and the University of Missouri, the Daily Caller reported. Students want the school to expand minority recruitment efforts, provide mandatory diversity training for all faculty and staff, create gender-neutral housing and restrooms, and instruct staff to use personal gender pronouns “as indicated by the individual.”

The group, calling itself “USC 20/20 Vision,” also demand that the university “acknowledge that this institution was built on the backs of enslaved Africans” and that acknowledgment should be included in official tours and on plaques around campus.

They also want an investigation into several administration members who they say have handled minority issues incorrectly, a local CBS News affiliate reported.

“The main demands are to ensure diversity here on our campus,” said Jessica Parker, a student who took part in the event. “We have a lot of policies that are stated but not necessarily enforced. We want to make sure that minority students of all kinds, whether they identify as LGBTQ, whether they are a minority student by race, by religion, we want them all to feel included on campus.”

USC Chief Communications Officer Wes Hickman issued a statement prior to the event that read in part:

“We appreciate our students making their voice heard, participating in civil discourse and continuing the dialogue toward making our campus a safe and welcoming environment for all students. The issues they have raised will do much to guide the conversation. In fact, many are already being addressed or are included in the university’s strategic plans.”
