BYU can do better. Like most slang, the meaning of "woke" changes depending on who's saying it, and to whom. Among black people talking about Ferguson, "stay woke" might mean something like: "stay conscious of the apparatus of white supremacy, don't automatically accept the official explanations for police violence, keep safe."

BYU does not have that kind of street cred. Plus, we're trying appear as a beacon of higher education, not some gangsta school.

BYU in this situation (and any like it) is almost by definition the white kid in a shirt and a tie trying to convince the urban kids he can hang with them because he totally understands their life.
