On Tuesday, the students met with UK President Eli Capilouto to review the requests, which included removing what they believe is a racist mural from Memorial Hall and hiring a full-time staff member who could help students with food and housing-related challenges.
After the hourslong meeting, Capilouto agreed to meet several of their demands, including covering a mural deemed racist for depicting the sale of slaves.
"I heard their brutally heartfelt and painfully honest stories about the challenges of being a student of color or need at our University," Capilouto said in a statement. "It was, as I told them, the toughest day I have had as a member of our community. My mind was further opened to their challenges and, frankly, to some of the shortcomings we have as an institution that aspires to be a community of belonging for everyone."
