We have posted a few times about our True Bruin Values (integrity, excellence, accountability, respect, and service) in the hopes that those on this page will take these values into consideration before posting reactionary or attacking posts. We seem to be crossing that line lately in our posts regarding recent, highly charged campus issues. We want this to be a place for the Transfer Community to talk and connect with each other. Debate is a terrific tool to create understanding and awareness of the diversity of experience that we as transfers bring to UCLA. I do think there is a place for debate and discussion on this page; however lately, many posts have gone too far and have not been written with integrity and respect of others in mind. As much as we hate to do this, we will start deleting posts that cross the line of mutual respect for one another. If the insults and disrespect of one another’s opinions and experiences continues, we may may delete inappropriate posts and/or ban people persisting in this type of communication. Many of the conversations being had are incredibly important and there are great forums in which to discuss them. If you would like to continue the conversation on divestment, maybe start a separate Facebook group that focuses on this topic and encourages others to join? Another option is to contact the Intergroup Relations Program. They do great workshops/conversations on campus climate, diversity, and ways in which to communicate about highly charges topics. The can come and do a workshop for any group that wants them to, so if you are interested you can contact them to find out the details. igr.ucla.edu/ Thank you for your cooperation in respecting the guidelines of this page.
