To the editor:
I cannot begin to express my anger and utter disappointment upon reading the comments made by individuals, who now apparently are a part of the newly-formed Tufts Students Against Discrimination (TSAD), in yesterday's Daily. In the three-plus years that I have been a part of the Tufts community I never imagined that such ignorant statements could be made. I can completely understand that there are certain students upset with the TCUJ's recent ruling, but to actually argue that by publicly damaging the University's reputation and future enrollment will aid their cause is nonsense.
If this vocal minority wants to change the non-discrimination policy, they should seek productive solutions that are based upon reason, and not a juvenile emotional reaction. To promote Tufts, in the words of Adam Carlis, as "not safe" to high schools as well as prominent newspapers, is simply the wrong course of action. I would urge the members of TSAD to carefully think about the potential consequences of your actions, and to carefully determine whether or not you are being motivated mainly by emotion instead of by reason.
