The White House's November 10 teleconference on hate crimes should serve as a call to action for the nation, according to attendees at the satellite broadcast of the meeting in Kiva Auditorium in Ritter Hall Annex. Temple University has a wonderfully unique and diverse campus. We, of all people, should appreciate the seriousness of hate crimes.
CERT provides mediation, conflict coaching and workshops for students.
The conference was a really nice first step to addressing this issue. Although there was only a limited amount of time to prepare for the simulcast of the conference, Geddes and Lehrfeld said the meeting will be a starting point for future discussions. This is a good start. Representatives from area religious groups, gay and lesbian rights groups and African-American studies groups attended the broadcast of the teleconference. President Clinton and Vice President Gore used the conference, which was broadcast from George Washington University, as an opportunity to lash out at hate crimes.
