STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES BOARD AT COLUMBIA Tuesday, February 24, 2004 To the Columbia Community, The Activities Board at Columbia does not condone the views recently expressed in a cartoon by one of our groups, the Fed. Our student organizations function autonomously, but we strongly believe that they all should show responsibility and respect to the greater community. Currently, we are evaluating the situation and we support the open dialogue that has been taking place over the past several days. We intend to meet with the various organizations involved and with the Columbia administration to confront the issue at hand. The problem of racism on campus affects all students and student groups, and it should not go unaddressed. At no time is campus dialogue more important than now when we can use this revealing incident to learn and grow as a community. We welcome any comments or suggestions regarding this situation, please contact us at abc_exec@columbia.edu. As soon as information becomes available, the ABC will do its best to update our constituents and other student groups.
Sincerely,
|
