The University’s self-declared primary value is Cura Personalis, a call to care deeply for oneself, for others and for the marginalized. Whatever has transpired is in direct opposition to what the university stands for. The lack of transparency, the lack of a plan forward, the suddenness, and the violence of dismantling the support system of a fifth of the student body, a section of already marginalized and vulnerable students, and indeed valuable, vibrant contributors to campus, has left me and many others feeling a sense of terror, hurt, and grief.
