As an advocacy-centered organization, the 草榴社区 understands the importance of being responsive to current, national, and international events. However, in an ever-changing world dominated by the 24-hour news cycle and social media, it has become increasingly challenging to choose when 草榴社区should and should not comment.
In this current climate, 草榴社区has often been faced with the reality that the weight of a reaction may become diluted the more one reacts. Therefore, 草榴社区has chosen not to respond to political announcements, posturing, or social media posts, regardless of the source. Instead, 草榴社区has reserved its formal comments for response to factual news, major events, or genuine policymaking that may have a significant impact upon the health and well-being of college students and our college communities, both now and in the future. In addition, 草榴社区has chosen to comment upon issues affecting the most vulnerable and marginalized members of our community, repeatedly defending our shared values of cultural inclusion, respect, equality, and equity. We welcome the feedback of our 草榴社区members on this approach.
Adopted by the 草榴社区Executive Committee on behalf of the Board of Directors on September 8, 2017.
