The referendum was merely a recommendation that will now go to Brown administrators to decide whether or not to provide reparations (and a likely corresponding increase in tuition). More from the Fix:<\/p>\n<p>A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/5e096506c5728c661f375083\/t\/60513534cdb3a825f85396a5\/1615934772218\/%5BV2%5D+Descendants+of+Slavery+Resolution+%281%29.pdf\">resolution<\/a>&nbsp;passed by the Undergraduate Council of Students on February 24 suggested the reparations would come in the form of preferential admissions for the descendants of slaves associated with the school and its founders, as well as scholarships and direct payments to those individuals.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution further called on the university to investigate the same benefits to \u201cNative American groups indigenous to the land Brown occupies such as the Narragansett.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The outlet further reported that the first black president of an Ivy League university, Brown President Ruth Simmons, in 2003 formed a Committee on Slavery and Justice to study the school\u2019s connection to past slavery. In 2006, that committee issued a report that came very close to calling for reparations. Simmons at the time said reparations would not come after the report was issued.<\/p>\n<p>The vote follows a series of harmful new policies from Brown University that have made it one of the most \u201cwoke\u201d schools in the country. In late March, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/brown-university-creates-new-sexual-misconduct-policy-designed-to-deny-due-process\">reported<\/a> on Brown\u2019s new sexual misconduct policy, designed to get around Trump-era regulations that required accused students be granted basic due process rights. The new policies expanded Brown\u2019s jurisdiction over sexual misconduct to include anywhere so long as at least one Brown student was involved.<\/p>\n<p>Guidelines from the Trump administration that were formally adopted last May narrowed Brown and other universities\u2019 jurisdiction in sexual assault cases, meaning colleges and universities couldn\u2019t act as a de facto police department for allegations that didn\u2019t occur on university property or within university-sponsored events.<\/p>\n<p>Brown followed up this policy with an online form allowing students to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/what-could-go-wrong-when-schools-allow-students-to-anonymously-accuse-each-other-of-sexual-crimes-everything\">anonymously accuse<\/a> others of heinous crimes like rape and sexual assault without having to provide evidence or even their name. It is unclear exactly how seriously anonymous allegations will be taken, but given Brown\u2019s history of railroading accused students no matter how thin the evidence against them, it\u2019s safe to assume an anonymous accusation will be all that\u2019s needed to expel a student.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
