In The Cavalier Daily’s lead editorial yesterday, (“Adequate response,” 4/15/2009) the Managing Board called for Student Council to “propose solutions instead of resolutions” in order to address discrimination at the University, and I agree that this is needed. Council now has new representatives, committee chairs, and committee members that are poised to start taking action, and to craft projects and programs to address discrimination. The Cavalier Daily also rightly observes that “a bill cannot do very much to address the real issue of discrimination.” However, the same can be said for a lead editorial. If we mean to actually change anything at the University, taking a stand against intolerance is the first step, though it is just one of many. Council, along with The Cavalier Daily, will need to work alongside other student groups to continue standing against hatred. It will take the help of every student to reestablish our community of tolerance and trust with a renewed understanding that bias has no place at the University.
