Some students at Saint Mary’s College of California question whether or not their school practices their Lasallian Core Principles – concern for the poor, faith in the presence of God, quality education, respect for all persons, and inclusive community.
Although notorious for their National ranking rugby team and keeping the Gael Force on their feet during basketball games against rival team Gonzaga, the college is struggling to meet the needs of their students.
Reasons for Demonstration:
· SMC being called racist by outsiders after students yelled racial slurs during a basketball game
· Graffiti saying “TRUMP” was tagged on campus more than once
· SMC’s Black Student Union was attacked by eggs during an annual event
· Anonymous social media tool, Yik Yak, had comments about pushing “colored people” to leave campus, amongst pages of other racist comments
Those who attend St. Mary’s College pay over $60k a year, yet many students don’t feel comfortable stepping out of their dorm rooms. Not only is it an issue of safety, but false advertisement as well.
Is SMC respecting all persons? Does the administration promote an inclusive community? To question their most recent campaign (SMCares)…. Does SMC really care?

The discussion on whether St Mary’s College truly cares raises important questions about student support, community involvement, and overall commitment to education. It’s essential for institutions to not only provide quality academics but also show genuine concern for student well-being and development. Transparency in communication and responsiveness to feedback can make a huge difference. In a way, running an institution is like using embroidery digitizing software—attention to detail, precision, and thoughtful planning ensure that every element, from academics to extracurricular support, comes together beautifully. True care shows in consistent actions, not just words.
The College of Contract Management supports independent learning alongside live instruction. Materials are accessible outside class hours. This allows review and reinforcement. Retention improves.
This is a powerful and necessary discussion. It’s concerning to hear that students at St. Mary’s College of California feel unsafe or unheard, especially in an environment that promotes Lasallian Core Principles. Inclusivity and respect for all individuals should never be compromised, regardless of background or belief. Open dialogue, accountability, and genuine action from the administration are crucial to rebuild trust. On a side note, for students managing both activism and academics, getting help with accounting assignment or other coursework can ease the pressure and allow more time to focus on important community issues.
