As many of you know, there have been several incidents of racism, classism, and homophobia on this campus in the past few weeks.  A group of students under the name ‘Respect Existence or Expect Resistance’ has come together to show their support for students targeted by attacks, and to call the Smith community and administration to action.  

We are glad that there is a serious investigation under way, but the underlying problem is that there is a culture of racism, classism, and homophobia on this campus that cannot be tolerated, and must be fought.
