<p>Watching the live stream from the convocation, I was mostly proud to be an alumni. Panelists were students, faculty, admin, president - there’s tensions about the admin not having done enough/been involved early enough but there’s also a collective “we are together in this” vibe from most it seemed - that may have not been felt for quite some time. What I hope comes out of this discussion is some changes from the admin but also changes from the students - a few devisive comments/questions were pretty self-centered “this is my pain, you don’t share it” and “you people are priviledged” when all students of Oberlin are obviously priviledged in some way.</p>
