A group of Dartmouth students describing themselves as Asian, Black, Latin@ (spelled with @ symbol), Native, Undocumented, Queer, and Differently-Abled sent a eight-page letter to the college's top administrators, including the president, demanding justice for perceived slights to members of their community, Campus Reform reported. They accused the school of oppression against marginalized populations of Dartmouth College. For retribution, they listed 70 demands to which officials must respond to by March 25 (in the school's newspaper) or else the group promises "physical action."

"If the Dartmouth administration does not respond by the indicated time, those who believe in freedom will be forced to physical action," goes the letter after taking the previous five or so pages to describe its policy proposals.

That the letter-writers, who don't list their names, would invoke Martin Luther King, Jr. in their second paragraph likely means that by "physical action" they mean marches and other sort of protests and not physical violence or anything along those lines.

"For our resistance, we have chosen to invoke The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil RightsMovement because Dartmouth claims to celebrate both the man and the movement with month-long programming."

Even so, they're not giving the school a tremendous amount of time to "publicly respond to each item raised on this document with its exact commitment to each one of its demands" and to ensure "a timetable and point people are designated for the above commitments" with "items that require funds" to "have a monetary commitment in the 2014-2015 fiscal budget."

One of the major themes of the letter is to increase enrollment among Black and Latino students and create committees to investigate why their admittance rate has remained the same over the last five years.
