“As students, faculty, and administrators, we within the University community have a responsibility to ensure that each and every member of our community feels like he or she can call this place home, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other unique identity.”
One year after the LGBTQ+ community was made to feel unwelcome at Boston College, a cowardly hateful act by a student was meant to intimidate the University’s black community. Racism has no home here.
“The limited space for dance and a cappella groups to rehearse on campus stagnates the growth of the arts at BC.”
“As BC has become a top national university and begun to attract superior applicants, the Honors Program is no longer necessary in its original function, according to a letter from Dean of MCAS Rev. Greg Kalscheur, S.J., sent to students.”
“During this trying time, in which thousands of people outside the boundaries of the Heights are suffering as a result of natural disasters and violence alike, BC students must choose to break from the ordinary and practice compassion beyond what is expected.”
“In today’s starkly divided America, such mutual understanding and capability for communication is essential for bridging the gaps that exist between us.”
“Marketing to college students presents a significant challenge that will require more than a few solutions to overcome.”
“The editorial board of The Heights wishes to express our thoughts and prayers to the four Boston College students attacked by acid in Marseille.”
“Strong supporters of the union will need to reach across the aisle in order to accomplish their agenda.”
“Shifting the focus from conflicts regarding conduct policy to conversations about issues such as racial equality on campus represents the first step in returning to a productive relationship between student activism groups and the BC administration.”
