“(Students) not only mourn their families, but also face a silence and lack of empathy from their own community. Where are the statements of solidarity? The safe spaces for healing or meaningful support from administration for those grieving innocent lives? … We cannot claim to be a global institution of higher learning while neglecting the global realities of our students. We cannot say we stand for justice when we turn a blind eye to injustice within our own campus.”
