Members of the "Redefine Purple Pride" movement have created a video and drafted a letter to University President Fr. Bill Beauchamp asking for a response to their continued requests for a transparent conversation about the absence of sexual orientation and gender identity in the Nondiscrimination Policy.
The group said they plan to protest on campus a second time if they do not hear a response by Friday.
Sunday night, "Redefine Purple Pride" posted the video on YouTube. The video had received 274 views as of Monday afternoon.
"We desire nothing more than to achieve a socially just community where everyone feels cared for, loved, and celebrated - regardless of their identities," the video said.
Students also hand delivered a formal letter to Beauchamp's office at 12:30 p.m. Monday.
"We hope that this letter will solicit a direct response from you, outlining the process and timeline of the PACI committee as well as the legality of the discussed changes to the non-discrimination policy," the letter said.
