This February, a group of Washington University students issued a statement calling for the removal of Wash. U. board member Andrew Taylor, who owns a controlling interest in the Keefe Group: a company that provides a variety of services to the U.S. prison system. Their argument: that the University should not be profiting from America’s overcrowded, overpriced prison industrial complex.

STL Students in Solidarity (STLSIS) called for the removal of a Washington University board member as part of a list of demands released Monday in conjunction with the Decarcerate STL campaign.
