@JamesMelville This literally exists already in many places; I'm a member of a car-sharing co-op in my neighborhood. We share 8 cars and are purchasing more. It works well, makes economic and environmental sense, helps reduce traffic, and keeps parking available https://t.co/HhbdTaZyDE

@ysabdullahi This is awful, Yusra. I'm sorry you went through this and thank you for speaking out about it--and it's disappointing yet not surprising that the university didn't do anything about this sooner

A friend sent this @dailyfreepress article from 1985 during the Silber administration--some things never change!

I'm proud to be an alum of @BU_Tweets thanks to the excellent faculty, classmates, and friends I had there in spite of the the administration. I hope things will change with a new president, but given the past trajectory I'm not optimistic.

He should have been proud of, or at least not chastised and patronized, students for using their freedom of speech to protest, as has long been a tradition at college campuses. 12/12
