I am looking into what are the exact claims being made here. One allegation is that racial slurs were used by 2 different professors recently and they are upset that the administration did not reprimand the professors. I then looked into the specific incidents and this is what I found:
The latest incident was with a female history professor:
"During the class, Brosnan was discussing why the U.S. Senate did not want the country to join the League of Nations at the end of World War I, according to multiple students.
To emphasize the depth of racism during the 1920s, Brosnan read a quote from former U.S. Senator James Reed, which used the n-word multiple times to describe other countries. Brosnan prefaced using the slur by explaining that the words were not her own and consisted of sensitive material.
"I don't remember the exact quote, but the sentiment was that a U.S. senator said that he didn't want 'n-words' from various African countries to have 'a seat at the table' with the 'mighty United States of America,'" said Devon Alcorn, a senior electrical engineering student who was in the class."

"Gade was discussing the changes in journalism related to technology and social media and made the point that journalism should stick to its more traditional roots, according to multiple students in the class.
Gade then called on a student who said journalists have to keep up with the younger generations as they continue to change.
Gade said the student's comment was the equivalent of saying "OK, boomer" to him. The class broke into light laughter but was interrupted by Gade's next comment."Calling someone a boomer is like calling someone a n-----," Gade said."Source:
