The California Faculty Association is demanding free college tuition for Black and Indigenous students and asking armed police to be removed across the state’s campuses. It wants the initiatives taken throughout the 23 campuses within the California State University system, which enrolls almost 500,000 students. A representative for the California State University told The College Fix that the movement is gaining support. “The California State University takes great pride in educating the most ethnically, economically and academically diverse student population in the nation,” according to Toni Molle. John Ellis, the chairman of the center-right California Association of Scholars, told the publication that it’s “unwise to advocate illegal racial discrimination of any kind, and to advocate defunding police,” adding that fewer police officers could lead to more violence
