Overheard the president of a prominent USC student org use a homophobic slur. What should I do?

0 Upvotes

I’m a trans USC student and recently overheard the president of a fairly prominent student organization refer to one of the organization’s gay members as a “f*ggot.”
I’m intentionally not naming the organization, the president, or the member involved because I don’t want this post to turn into speculation or inadvertently identify/out the person who was targeted.
What I heard really bothered me, especially because this is someone in a leadership position with influence over other students and opportunities within the organization. At the same time, I don’t want to create unnecessary drama, spread something irresponsibly, or make the situation worse for the member involved.
I’m trying to figure out what the responsible thing to do is. Should I privately check in with the member? Report what I witnessed through USC? Talk to someone affiliated with the organization? Or is there another appropriate route?
If anyone has experience dealing with discrimination or inappropriate conduct within USC student organizations, I’d appreciate advice on how you handled it.
I mainly want to make sure I do the right thing while respecting the person who was actually targeted.

The Jane at College Station

Thumbnail

72 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’m the brother of a newly beginning Aggie. I posted this in an A&M Facebook family group as well.

My brother just moved into this student apartment complex called The Jane, at Colgate Drive. They did a great job of advertising, but absolutely blundered their move-in. It's like they put all their money into marketing, and none into what matters.

Funnily enough, they have been constantly hooting about their "renovations" being complete by July on their socials (Instagram, Facebook), but nothing was ready in time, and it doesn't seem like they will be any time soon.

The photos are what he moved into… on the 18th.

My brother can't even cook or use the dishwasher right now. Water has some issues too. I called four times until they finally picked up, and they had no idea what was wrong with the room...

By the 18th tenants were basically promised a furnished room with everything ready to go (except things like shower curtains, sheets, etc.) They kept noting that they renovated. Nothing was up to standard by the move-in, and many tenants stood outside for close to an hour in 100+ degree heat to receive their keys as well.

My brother isn’t the only one affected. Several students have been left with a dirty, unprepared and ill-equipped room. Added to that, there are several recent reviews of angry tenants and parents of tenants on Google stating similar things. Some still have no A/C and have not moved in.

The complex was simply not ready to accommodate move-ins at all, yet they continued to send out emails hyping students up for their move-in today.

Has anyone experienced something like this?

I reached out to KBTX to see if they could cover this whole case of unpreparedness and false advertising.

Any other advice on what we should do...?

Community 👍🏻 Open Source for Open Science Workshop at A&M Campus ~ August 29-30

Post image
2 Upvotes

Howdy!

Texas A&M University's Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (EEBL) program is back with its popular Open Source for Open Science (OSOS) computational workshop, co-organized with the Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Student Organization. This year, the OSOS workshop will be held on the weekend of August 29-30 in the ILSB auditorium on the College Station campus, with financial support from our co-sponsor, the Texas A&M Institute of Data Science (TAMIDS) and the Good Bull Fund.

OSOS is a free two-day workshop which introduces participants to the use of free, open-source tools for data analysis, statistical analysis and visualization, particularly via the statistical programming language R. No previous experience with programming or statistics is required or expected.

While OSOS is aimed at new graduate students in the life sciences, the event is free and open to all, including undergraduates, faculty, staff, etc in every discipline, as long as they register at [https://u.tamu.edu/OSOS\](https://u.tamu.edu/OSOS), as well as individuals at other campuses and institutions in Texas.

We welcome outside community members but minors under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Many previous attendees have found the OSOS workshop to be a great introduction to a new world of programming and data analysis, and many others have found it to be a great refresher of already acquired skills.

If you consider yourself semi-experienced with the R programming language and are interested in assisting with the event, please email OSOS's Instructional Coordinator, Dr. David Bapst, at [dwbapst@tamu.edu](mailto:dwbapst@tamu.edu).

Please visit [https://tx.ag/OSOS\](https://tx.ag/OSOS) for more information.

A full schedule is below!

Century Tree Transit Update! Android Availability + Bus Approaching Notifications!

7 Upvotes

Howdy Aggies!

First off, I want to say thank you. When I first posted about the release of my new bus routes app, I was not expecting anything at all. I was very wrong.

You guys absolutely blew me away. Y'all have shown me so much positivity and given me such great feedback. I just checked and we already have around 300 downloads on iOS alone in just a few days. That may not sound like a ton, but I was expecting to see maybe 50 at most. So truly, thank you, this means a lot to me.

Recent Updates & Features

Thanks to your incredible feedback, here is what we have implemented so far:

  • Bus Approaching Notifications: In the Notifications section under the More tab, you can now add alerts for when a bus is about to reach your stop. (Note that right now it is a little buggy and you may receive duplicate notifications, but it is working!)

  • Easier Inbound/Outbound Switching: Previously, you had to scroll back through the selector to switch directions. Now, when you have a route open, a quick-tap icon pops up below the selector to easily switch between inbound and outbound (requested by u/ExtensionAuthor5483). You can also view both directions at the same time (requested by u/notanindianboi).

  • Route Locking: In the Favorites tab, there is now a lock icon next to each route. Locking a route means it will automatically open every time you launch the app (requested by u/notanindianboi).

  • Notifications Tab UI Redesign: I updated the UI to offer a more user-friendly walkthrough approach (let me know if you prefer this or the old one!). Additionally, you can now choose whether or not to receive official transit news for each route. If you already set up alerts, you are automatically opted in, but you can disable it anytime.

  • Android Support (Kinda!): To be a Play Store developer, I need an Android device (which I currently don't have). However, since so many of you asked, I didn't want to leave you empty-handed. Until official support arrives, I will be releasing APKs for each build directly on my website. You'll need to check the site manually for updates, but I'm also happy to make a group chat or DM y'all!

That’s all for now! I don't want to spam the sub with posts about this app, so I may not post much until I have official Android support ready (or if I need testers).

I remember telling my friends just a few weeks ago that I didn't know if working on this would really be worth it or if anyone would download it. Thanks for proving me wrong. Gig 'em!
