This week’s The Point is written by Prof. Lynne Byall Benson, Senior Lecturer, Women’s, Gender, and Sexualities Studies

I have recently visited several college campuses and couldn’t help but notice how many spaces were available for students, faculty, and staff for conversation, a coffee break or meal with a colleague, a visitor, a potential new hire, or just hanging out between classes or meetings.

We, the members of the Faculty Staff Union Executive Committee, mourning the loss of life in Israel and Palestine, voted to join the American Labor Movement in calling for US politicians to demand an immediate ceasefire and release of hostages in Gaza.

We believe it is our responsibility to ensure that our campus remains a safe place for our community to discuss, share, debate, and to foster learning, empathy, and understanding, without fear. We must acknowledge and give voice to the collective grief of all members of our community.
