One of the issues addressed at today's BSU meeting pertained to the recent incident on campus. Racial slurs were spray painted on the wall at Aquinas Hall late Monday night. Trudi Goggin, Dean of Students, emailed the entire campus yesterday with sincere apologies and reminded everyone about the Dominican standard:
"To guide our behavior and build healthy relationships Dominican University has developed standards of behavior in support of the intellectual, physical, spiritual, and emotional development of each student. In the spirit of our university motto; Caritas et Veritas truth and compassion. Please remember these standards - Integrity - Community - Fairness - Respect and Responsibility as you reach out to one another in mutual dignity and support."
No information was given about who committed the crime, nor have we been updated on the investigation; I'm sure we'll hear more about it in the days to come. Did anybody see the graffiti, or has it already been cleaned off?
Clearly, these things happen often at colleges and universities; it's just a shame that someone felt the need to do this on our peaceful campus.
