Last week, students of the Washington University community affirmed their support for the disinvitation/boycott of Marvin Casey from the US-Mideast Hip-Hop Exchange Week in support of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDS).

Our University has a diverse student body, but a criticism oft-levied at the makeup of this campus is that its different factions are prone to self-segregation. Though no amount of programming can fully solve this problem, structured collaboration between student groups is a good place to start.
