After the president and the chancellor of the University of Missouri system resigned, how should college campuses handle racial tensions?

The president and the chancellor of the University of Missouri system resigned Monday over allegations that they mishandled racial tensions on campus.

Keona Ervin is an assistant professor of African-American History at the University of Missouri, and Lori Patton Davis is an assistant professor who researches racism in higher education at the University of Indiana's School of Education. Both joined host Alex Cohen to talk about tackling racism on college campuses.
