#DentonRentFreeze Week of Action

Student Tenants deserve a compassionate response from landlords and elected officials during the COVID-19 crisis and a freeze on April's rent!

Monday: Knowledge is Power. Learn your rights and join us for a Q&A Zoom call with the North Texas Fair Housing Council!

Tuesday: Call a Landlord. Together we are stronger - go to bit.ly/dentonrentfreezeday2 for sample scripts to email, text, or call your landlords.

Wednesday: Demand a City Council Resolution.

Thursday: Demand County and State Action.

Friday: Social Media Storm.

1. We DEMAND that the UNT System creates and enforces comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum throughout all campus departments and units, mandatory for all faculty, staff, and administration. This curriculum must be vetted, maintained, and overseen by a board comprised of students, staff, and faculty of color.
2. We DEMAND that the university institute a mandatory cultural competency course required of all students either in a first-year seminar or a stand-alone course integrated within Orientation and Transition Programs.
3. We DEMAND that the university creates a specific outline to address diversity and inclusion practices in the strategic plan that will increase retention rates for marginalized students, sustain diversity curriculum and training, and promote a more safe and inclusive campus.
4. We DEMAND that by the academic year 2021-2022 the University of North Texas increases the percentage of black, brown, and other marginalized identities among the faculty and staff campus­wide to match the demographic representation of our student population.
5. We DEMAND the University will allocate new financial resources towards the expansion of the multicultural center and the entirety of the Division of Equity and Diversity. We believe our students deserve a building just like the greek life center to accommodate the needs of individual minority groups.
