In response to David White’s Feb. 22 letter to the editor entitled “Gore’s invitation a step backward in diversity,” I would like to clarify that the Union Board is not in the process of bringing Al Gore to campus. Nor does the Union Board have the funding to spend $150,000 on a single program. The Union Board has a commitment to bring diverse programs to campus; programs that enrich both the educational and entertainment aspects of student development. Programming for such a diverse community will always be a struggle, but diversity is far more than the diversity of political parties. Anyone is welcome to bring a program idea to a committee meeting.
Sarah McDonough, \nUnion Board president
