Priorities

Sargent Center is a unique facet of BU that is being thrown under the bus for some misguided priorities. While I understand the realities of a budget crunch, I think it's hard to underestimate the breadth of the effect, and more than that, the wide swath of people from all backgrounds, who have benefitted from their time there. The immediate hypocrisy of BU's "diversity" rhetoric is obvious looking at the student body and their collective attitudes, but this is a much deeper dig at reducing the diversity of experience, environment, and opportunities that BU offers. I hope the camp continues in the spirit of it's past and that it is still a boon to the area. BU was willing to swallow their pride and pony up for Goldin, but they can't back a Center that clearly affects multiple communities? Different economic times, sure, but same poor judgement.
