Join the Equality Riders in Creating a List of Concerns to Be Sent to the BYU Administration by Matthew Kulisch January 2007 In conjunction with their March 2007 visit to Brigham Young University, the organizers of the Soulforce Equality Ride want to give the former and current Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender students of BYU an opportunity to reach out to their administration in a way previously unheard of. We propose the creation of a LIST OF CONCERNS. These concerns and grievances should be concise but pointed, giving us concrete expressions of your experience as an LGBT student at BYU. Focus these grievances on harmful policies, unequal treatment of LGBT students or faculty (or those who advocate for them), classroom or counseling concerns, honor code practices, and any other pertinent information that demonstrates the difference BYU makes in its treatment of LGBT students versus the rest of its student body. In short, tell us about your feelings and experiences with the BYU educational environment. We also recognize how these experiences and concerns may have affected your friends, your family members, faculty members, and others that are close to you. We want to hear from them as well. These concerns should not represent an attack on the LDS Church, BYU, Soulforce, the Equality Ride, or any individual affiliated with them. Concerns/grievances that include harmful language will not be included in the final submission. We hope that the BYU administration will acknowledge these concerns and seek to create an equal environment for all of its students. Along with your concise and pointed grievance(s), please include:
