  The change comes amid recent controversies at the university around racist incidents, including faculty using the n-word in class and members of the Delta Chi fraternity allegedly sent racist, homophobic, and hateful messages in a private online chat.
  In a message to university administrators last Thursday, the group RAACES, which stands for of Researchers, Academics & Advocates of Color for Equity in Solidarity, called for Flannagan's removal, among other demands.
  Natalie Delia Deckard, an assistant professor of criminology at the University of Windsor who is part of RAACES, responded positively to the news of his departure.
  "I absolutely felt relief when I read the message," she said. "I believe that we as a university are moving in the right direction with this."
  "It's relieving to me as a woman of colour to see an institutional commitment made real."
