Orange County hospitals are preparing to enter surge mode as the county saw another bump in coronavirus hospitalizations, while the virus continues to spread.

At the beginning of June, 292 people were hospitalized, including 121 in intensive care units. There were also 226 dead out of 7,767 confirmed cases.

I’m sad to see that the board agenda includes nothing regarding a resolution in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Yes, that would have been a signal to students to be welcome as students and not just white ones. We need a BOT on this issue that is pro-active.
A resolution in support of BLM could be considered a political statement, and the BOT may want to steer clear of that.

We do have a diverse population but the very existence of that population doesn't mean they are welcomed by all, either in their peer group or by the institution.
