Title A name given to the resource Students Publicly Protest Against Abortion Description An account of the resource Pro-Life students adorned the quad with 180 graves in order to "commemorate the number of abortions performed every hour in the United States." Some of the graves had names of women who had died as a result of legal abortions. An hour after the demonstration began the Women's coalition stood across from them with Pro-Choice signs such as "Keep abortion safe and legal." While no physical altercations emerged, students were seen hotly debated the issue from across the quad. The co-president of GMU United for Life stated their purpose was to educate women so they can make a decision prior to becoming pregnant. A student member of the National Organization for women stated that the Pro-Choice side does not want people to get abortions, but believe the choice is up to the woman.

Title A name given to the resource BOV rejects hiring of an LGBTQ+ Councilor Description An account of the resource After a BOV decision to designate $50,000 to the club football program, one anonymous student wrote an opinion piece about the appearingly increasingly conservative BOV. This opinion piece emerged as the author beleived this decision to be unjust after the BOV had previosuly rejected the hiring of an LGBTQ+ councilor that would have only cost the University $15,000. The BOV claimed there was not a "demonstrated need" for the councilor, but the author of the opinion piece argued that GMU had not embraced its NCAA and CAA sports, so the designation of $50,000 dollars to a club sport did not appear to be a "demonstrated need" either.

Title A name given to the resource Student Groups Demand Dismissal of BOV Member Description An account of the resource After BOV Rector Marvin Murray voted against the funding of both an on-campus GLBT center and the appointment of a GLBT staff member to the Office of Minority Student Affairs and group of students publicly requested his dismissal from his position as he was not fulfilling his duty to serve the needs of the student body.
