A group of University of Rhode Island students are staging a protest over allegations their concerns about harassment and discrimination are not being addressed.
Members of the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual and Transgender Center are holding a sit-in at the campus library.
The group is unhappy with ongoing negotiations with URI officials over budget, campus climate, and other issues.
The protest began at midnight Wednesday with about a dozen students.
URI Provost Donald DeHayes said the school is sensitive to the issues and the vulnerability of GLBT students.
At least one student said he's seen no progress in a year.
