Diversity Meeting

Since this class began, I've been super fired up about racial/sexual/orientation related discrimination on this campus.

I mean I was fired up before, but this class awakened this intense desire in me to fix things.

I attended the diversity meeting with president on Wednesday evening. The room was almost completely full. The stories that people told were incredibly alarming. We got through 2 hours of stories and there was still more than a handful of people waiting to speak.

I am skeptical to the actual progress that it's going to make. The president did very little to assure us that action would be taken. I think that based off the blatant racism, sexism and homophobia apparent on campus, action needs to be taken immediately.

It is incredibly unjust that people on this campus have been fundamentally disrespected on the deepest level. We need to be able to feel like equals and human beings.

I am hoping that my final project will tackle this issue and will yield some results.
