COVID-19 is an extremely threatening virus, which has no known cure or treatment and lasts for widely varying lengths of time. These factors would make the virus incredibly harmful to any student who is infected by potentially interrupting their studies for months. Not only could this disease significantly impact a student’s education and potentially delay their graduation, but the disease could even be fatal in its worst cases.

Last week, the University moved the LGBTQ Center from its previously remote location in the basement of Newcomb Hall to a more accessible and visible location on the third floor.

The location change is potentially dangerous for LGBTQ+ students who may want to be among their peers without risking revealing their identity to the general student body. Making a designated safe space on Grounds less accessible to the vulnerable population is a large cost to pay for any improvements or benefits. The complications that could arise from this change illustrate the difficulties that LGBTQ+ students at the University face every day.
