Last night, University students gathered to share issues that Latino, Asian-American, African-American, gay, lesbian and female students encounter within the University community. The Coalition, composed of the Asian Student Union, Black Student Alliance, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Union, La Sociedad Latina and the National Organization for Women, organized the forum entitled "Not Just a Victim's Game."
