What’s the difference?

By Will Brehm

This happened in 2006.

This happened in 2008. 

Lehigh continues to fight racism in a reactionary cycle. Only when a terrible event occurs does the community respond. The response is mere lip-service to the event, only lasting long enough for students to forget. The events in 2008 will reappear in 2010 and 2012 and 2014 unless we — the whole Lehigh community — become proactive. 

Will it take another Jeanne Clery for Lehigh to change? I hope not.
