Homophobic drawing in Comstock House
Two stick figures in a sexual position and threatening, anti-gay statements were discovered on a student’s message board in Comstock House. The incident was reported to campus security, starting an investigation. Maureen Mahoney, dean of the college, sent out a memo the following day condemning the incident. The Lesbian-Bisexual-Transgender Alliance held a meeting on the incident and Comstock House began to plan an open mic event to address what had happened.
