Update and Most Recent Proposal!

We have some exciting news!

Last spring, we met with President Brown to discuss our proposal and garner his support. Well, he liked it!

President Brown agreed to have a joint drafting meeting to write a final draft of the proposal with students, faculty and administrators. We will then present the proposal to the Board of Trustees, with President Brown's support!

Next week, we'll be bringing the proposal to the Faculty Council to ask for their support.

CLICK HERE for the most recent version of the proposal!

We're doing well, but we still need your help! If you are a faculty member or involved in a student group and would like to endorse our proposal, or if you would like to get involved in the campaigh please contact Elisa Gill at elisag@bu.edu .

Stay tuned!
