Ali and coalition members say they want to continue mobilizing as a coalition even if they do resolve their concerns with the "Peculiar Institution."

Responding to what action the coalition plans to take if demands are not met. Ali said last week, "I hope we do not get to that point. We have established clearly what our demands are and we'll expect a response."

We don't want to be threatening to the University, but we are determined to see them through," said Ali.
