Welcome, Guest!

I can answer a couple of questions. First, the minority groups that the support efforts in question are focused on are groups that are underrepresented at Uni, and groups that recruitment and retention efforts are needed to support. In no way should that be taken by any student in any other group as an indication that they do not have issues to be addressed or a culture to be celebrated. This effort is one small piece of work. It is not the be-all and end-all. Second, Emily, I don't think anyone is advocating guilt. I believe that it is important to leverage the power that is conferred on us by society to do good. I've seen you do that. Third, lots of non-Uni people read and comment on the Gargoyle. That's the thing about being online - it is the World Wide Web, remember? If we didn't want the world to enter the conversation, we would limit comments, or be on an intra-net. But this openness is a hallmark of Uni freedom, in my opinion. Last, there is no shame in admitting that we can do better. That's also a hallmark of Uni - striving.
