Apparently, the students found a whiteboard with all their names on it, but divided into two groups. One group had all the white students, the other had everyone else. Initially they cried foul, but were persuaded that the intent was actually innocuous.
Somewhere along the way, the prof said “I’m just sad people get their feelings hurt so easily. And they are going into theatre?”
For this, they are now demanding his head.
For this, they are now demanding his head.
Without knowing the details (and it's genuinely clear from the story that there's a lot being left out), it's impossible to say whether the students' anger is justified. But clearly their demand is not. CCU must back the prof. End of story.
