Interestingly, I mentioned our door being vandalized at a presentation by Dr. Ed Spencer, who was at the time running for vice-president of student affairs. Although his answer to the problem wasn't adequate at the presentation, he did e-mail me today to say that he wanted to meet and deal directly with the concerns of LGBT students. At least someone paid attention, finally.
nice work* and might i add that i *love* that thousands of proffessors get put on this FBI list for "brainwashing students to be liberal" and are marked for terrorist/revolutionary watch, b/c universities are supposed to not represent a political biase. giving money to the bush campaign? liberty and justice for all, eh?
a good friend of mine, brilliant woman, is one of those professors. she's been "searched" about half a dozen times already since 2001.
another friend, not a university professor, but an educator and film maker has been labled a flight risk. she was due to give a presentation and Q&A about one of her latest films at a university in Columbus, Ohio and had an impossible time boarding the flight and never did make it to ohio.
i can't wait to get out of virginia either, in spite of the attachment i've developed towards blacksburg. when i really come to think of it, everyone's moving away within the next couple of years, and what is this town without all the people who have experienced it with me?
