Time and time again we see that the regulations for hate crimes at BC are tolerated and loop holed to take pity on students when it comes to these social injustices. We are calling on you, the student-body to put change within your own hands and create a better environment at this school for all people. Boston College should eliminate the “bias-related incident” portion of the protocol. This lessons the level of the discriminatory crimes that have been committed. These are hate crimes and should be treated as such. In reporting incidents to an official, you can not do so without the name of the assailant. Clearly these punishments already in place are mot enough if history continues to repeat itself. We also want to educate the uneducated with having an actual mandated diversity course regarding African-American culture and history. Along with students allowed to sit in at the Forum discussions regarding diversity at BC.
