Brief bad news from DePaul. At least seven anti-LGBTQ hate crimes have been reported to the LGBTQ group at DePaul University, including at least two serious violent attacks, and the writing or shouting of slurs. I myself have been called a faggot from driving cars on two separate occasions near DePaul University's Lincoln Park campus Student Center. One of the perpatrators of the assaults was arrested after the incident, but most of the culprits are still unknown. There will be more details to come.

This is all on top of the incident posted earlier this Fall to Chicago Indymedia in which a DePaul professor hatefully spoke to some Palestinian students about Muslims and Palestine. The administration has not as of yet dealt with this incident in a manner satisfactory to the students who were harassed.
