2010

As research indicates this community has expanded and the temporary solution is not viable or just at this time o Some faculty, staff, and administrators have further perpetuated ignorance inside and outside of the classroom in an extremely overt manner o Inappropriate and offensive slurs are directed towards students that are currently residing in Adams Hall, making this current location an immediate target for hate crimes to occur and jeopardizing the health and safety of the GLBT student population on the URI campus o Without support, the development of a healthy identity is challenging and academic performance is often compromised
