An administrator at San Francisco State University told students they could turn to on-campus counseling services to 'heal' following an event with former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines.
Following the incident at San Francisco State, Jamillah Moore, the university's vice president of student affairs, reportedly sent an email to the student body that noted the fact that the university had become a flashpoint of controversy surrounding campus free speech rights and said that the university's diversity meant students would be exposed to views they may"find personally abhorrent.
"SF State is regularly noted as one of the most diverse campuses in the United States — this is what makes us Gators, and this is what makes us great," Moore wrote in the email."Diversity promotes critical discussions, new understandings and enriches the academic experience. But we may also find ourselves exposed to divergent views and even views we find personally abhorrent. These encounters have sometimes led to discord, anger, confrontation and fear.
The university administrator said nothing about the alleged violence that took place and thanked students who"participated peacefully" in the event. She also referred students to on-campus counseling and mental health services."This feels difficult because it is difficult," Moore wrote.
