GUEST OPINION: "Taking down the statue does not imply that we are forgetting or censoring the past — it in fact highlights the neglected aspects of our university’s past that are painful yet necessary to unveil and confront," write current Hanszenites. ricethresher.org/article/2021/0…

Many students say Texas universities' efforts to become more inclusive after last summer's racial reckoning don’t directly address their demands or go far enough to dismantle the legacy of white supremacy on their campuses. bit.ly/3qOALBB

"A statue, in many ways, represents regression. It is the representation of a historical figure, rigid and frozen in time. The fact of the matter is that we have outgrown the conditions of Rice University’s founding."

just another reminder that @RiceUniversity continues to dismiss and devalue the lives of bipoc on campus. we stand in solidarity with the family of margarita rodriguez and all of rice's staff members who have been neglected and underprotected in this pandemic.

@RiceUniversity, do you really want white supremacy to be part of your "brand"? the truth of william marsh rice can't be kept a secret- your students see it, your community sees it. & it will continue to cast its shadow over our campus as long as the statue stands. #downwithwilly
