Description
Due to the intricate nature of this document, it is suggested that those interested in the source read it in it's entirety. Essentially, the 2018-2019 political committe of the BSO asseses the racially violnt history of Columbia Public Safety (and subsequentially, Columbia University and Barnard College). This particular document was witten, spurred by the racially motivated Public Safety incidient, where Alexander McNab, a black Columbia Student, was wrongfully harassed and physically assulted for entering Barnard's Campus. The document then goes onto adress the University's past with racial violence both on campus, and in the greater Harlem/Morningside area. The incidents speak to the influence of redlining, as determining what events foster a response from public safety, is related to the social and urban status of non-white Harlem residents.
