Shame on @JCHartzell & @UTAustin for abandoning the MEC, staff, & students. The decision to shut down a center known for supporting ALL but esp marginalized students & serving as a hub for student activism is disheartening & unjust.

@JCHartzell We demand you reinstate the MEC. What kind of HSI takes valuable resources away from its Latinx students??

The UC School system recently decided to end the use of SAT and ACT for admissions due to the disparities and disadvantages placed upon BIPOC, poor students. Finally, not just one , but ten universities are doing something right.

One of the first moments I (actually) realized that I have toxic parents: in 7th grade, a few of my “friends” were teasing me for dressing a specific way (color coordinated, collar shirts, literally like a uniform, no makeup, etc.) and in order to avoid blame

Marginalized students already have to fight tooth and nail to receive any ounce of respect, safety, inclusion, etc. at Public institutions in TX. Bills like these would take away the already limited power we have
