OPINION: Changing the world begins by changing Mercer

Mercer University has the opportunity to pave the way for increasing the rights of students at private colleges across the country. Instead of shutting them down, Mercer University could propose a way to protect all students while also enabling students to peacefully protest. Additionally, the University can choose to show explicit support for its LGBTQ+ population. This is especially important since the rights of queer and trans individuals across our country are being stripped away as I write this.
