Ivy League schools are inundated with ads for potential egg donors-women who for a considerable sum of money donate their eggs to a couple for in vitro fertilization. What happens once they sign on? And what role do the fertility clinics who match the donors to the recipients play? A well-dressed couple in their early 30s walk into a building that from the outside has all the settings of a corporate office but from the inside looks more like a clinic.

The following are excerpts from statements of GLBTQ and allied students at Boston College from a 2008 survey. These statements do not necessarily represent the views of the GLC and are presented not to criticize the University or student body, but to demonstrate a need for action.

I grew up in a household with a strong sense of cultural pride. My parents were always proud to say they were Haitian and constantly reminded me that I was Haitian-American. At home, my mom spoke to me in her native Creole and French, and we always had Haitian food for dinner.

A professor at the College, Cronin connected in conversation with the students over their anxieties about the real world. She eased herself into asking the question of what they thought about leaving relationships with boyfriends and girlfriends behind.

In the early morning hours of Nov. 16, 1989, government troops besieged the campus of the University of Central America (UCA) in San Salvador. Before dawn, the crack troops of the U.S. trained Atlacatl Battalion barricaded the entrances, blew down the gates, and sacked the modest residences of the Jesuit faculty, brutally murdering six Jesuit priests, their cook, and her 16 year-old daughter. The Jesuits were dragged from their beds, shot execution style in the head, their brains spread on the sidewalks as a grim reminder to the Salvadoran people of the consequences of critical thinking and social engagement. The two women, Elba and Celina Ramos, were murdered alongside their priests that night, for there could be no witnesses left to testify.

I probably didn't know Matt Starring as well as many readers or certainly any of his closest friends did.
After I graduated in May 2009, I lost touch with Matt and many of our mutual friends, which I regret. Now, like our common friends, I also regret not having spent more time with him while I could have.

I understand that Boston College is unique among most universities because of its commitment to the Jesuit ideal and the spirit of academic and intellectual curiosity. The tension that exists can and often does create a spirited academic environment and an animated student body.
