Students demand more action against racism at Purdue

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (Exponent) - Though a forum held in September helped recruit more people to address the issue, racism and segregation among ethnic and racial groups still exist at Purdue, according to the president of the Black Graduate Student Association.
