A student activist group at the University of Michigan is demanding campus officials provide them with a segregated space for students of color to organize social justice efforts.

The demand is one of several lodged by Students4Justice, who this month coordinated campus protests to pressure administrators to submit.

They wrote in an online petition that President Mark Schlissel has rebuffed their demands,The College Fix reports.

'Our president has blatantly ignored us and it is time for us to speak up. We have been told that our demands are "rude",' Students4Justice states on its Facebook page in announcing its petition.

So far, the organization's petition has 134 supporters.

'We are calling on someone to care about students’ concerns and to lead us with integrity and help us fight against the oppression and hateful acts that try to destroy us and our community.'

The clamor for a 'a permanent designated space on central campus for Black students and students of color to organize, and do social justice work' comes even as the public university builds a $10million multicultural student center.

But Students4Justice want a separate on-campus space, 'solely dedicated to community organizing and social justice work specifically for people of color'.

'We want documentation of past, current, and future student activism and this should be a permanent space that is staffed, and has resources for students to organize and share resources', states the organization's demand letter.

University of Michigan spokesman Rick Fitzgerald told The College Fix that at 'this point, our colleagues in Student Life have been working with the Students4Justice leaders to better understand their concerns. This is our normal process'.

The organization first presented its demands to the university last fall, but a revised version was submitted to administrators in late January after a series of racist incidents on campus.

Earlier this month, the university's college of engineering students received racist and anti-Semitic emails.

According to The Michigan Daily, one of these emails read: 'Hi n*****s, I just wanted to say that I plan to kill all of you. White power! The KKK has returned!!! Heil Trump!!!!'

Members are also demanding that the university remove symbols and names of 'white supremacy' on campus, including former school president Clarence C Little

Among the organization's demands is a call to remove symbols and names of white supremacy on campus.

Students4Justice highlight the CC Little Science Building, named after former university president Clarence C Little who became a controversial figure for his outspoken favor of eugenics.

Eugenics sought to improve the genetic composition of humankind by preventing those considered 'defective' from reproducing.

Students at the University of Michigan feel there's an anti-diversity subtext to these chalk messages scrawled around campus. The messages contained phrases, such as, 'F**** Safe Spaces' and 'Be Proud Euro American'

The organization's demands follows a nationwide trend of university groups calling for racially segregated spaces on their campuses, most notably California State University Los Angeles.

School officials honored requests by the university's Black Student Union to provide separate dorm housing for black students.

Proponents of self-segregation - when members of a racial or ethnic group isolate themselves from the greater community - argue that these spaces help ease racial tensions.

However, a study conducted by Harvard social psychologist Jim Sidanius found that membership in ethnic student organizations has a tendency to increase perceptions of group victimization and conflict toward other groups.
