March 24, 2015 photo, University of Maryland student Kayla Tarrant speaks during a town hall meeting about racism in universities and what can be done to stop it, at the University of Maryland in College Park, Md. Tarrant loves the University of Maryland. But the sophomore campus tour guide says a racist email and photo attributed to her schoolmates makes her reluctant to encourage other black students to enroll “in a place where you feel unsafe and no one cares about you.” “We’re literally begging people to care about our issues,” Tarrant said with tears in her eyes to applause from about 100 students _ blacks, Hispanics, Asians and a few whites _ gathered to discuss the racial climate at the predominantly white, 27,000-student campus.
