So how did that work out for you BIPOC? Not as well as you had hoped, huh? In fact, everything you complained about and stated as facts have been dismantled as utter garage and lies. TUPD crime stats are at an all time low, the university is making money and it looks like everybody including TUPD will be receiving raises for all their hard work and persistent drive for student, staff and faculty safety. That money you was hoping to get.. it’s not coming so find something else to complain about because it’s not needed or wanted here at Tulane.
