The University of Minnesota announced Wednesday that it would limit when its crime alerts include references to a suspect's race. Instead of routinely including such information in crime alerts, it will be used only "when there is sufficient detail that would help identify a specific individual or group." The announcement follows months of campus discussion and a building takeover this month in which ending the use of racial classifications in crime alerts was one of the demands. The students who organized this month's building takeover criticized Wednesday's change as inadequate.
