LGBTQ task force submits list of ‘demands’ to the University
The task force announced their demands via Instagram and called for a “walkout” on Tuesday.

Furthermore, the group insisted that the University of Pittsburgh establish three fully staffed, in-person resource centers devoted to the LGBTQIA+, disability, and BIPOC communities.
The task force also demanded that the university “provide a minimum pay of $20 an hour and matching rate of inflation +1% for all university workers.”
“No more cops for mental health crises!” they added.
