We
are writing to express our utmost support for the campaign to win safe
space for our fellow students at BU. It is quite disturbing that gender
neutral housing was not a pressing enough concern for the
administration to warrant keeping its timetable (much less keeping up
with most other universities around Boston and the country). Despite
having an equal opportunity policy that includes gender variance, the
actual institutions at BU have fallen far short of the basic needs of
its student population.
Forcing
students to identify within the gender binary for housing as well as
what bathrooms they use is extremely alienating and dangerous to their
physical and psychological well-being. SJP will not rest until BU ends
its stratification of housing and bathrooms and provides safety and
autonomy over the bodies and living conditions of our community. We
promise to support this campaign in every possible way and remain
committed to pushing for a just future at our school and all over the
world.
