BU President Apologizes for Removal of Pride Flags

"Our university and our policies exist within a larger social context-one that is dynamic and complex. In the public conversation about Boston University's time, place, and manner policies, that spotlight has fallen disproportionately on our LGBTQIA+ community, and I have heard how difficult and painful that has been.

90 Percent of Student Discrimination and Harassment Complaints Were Dismissed Last Year. Here's Why. | Nonprofit Quarterly | Civic News. Empowering Nonprofits. Advancing Justice.

A new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a nonpartisan arm of Congress, paints a damning picture of how mass layoffs and the slashing of resources at the agency have significantly impacted the civil rights of students.

An Article I'd Love to Read

Cuts that hurt are obvious: layoffs, program closures, college closures, furloughs, deferred maintenance, pay freezes, travel freezes, etc. It's a well-worn playbook at this point.
