ALT Rumeysa’s presence on campus has been missed, as her genuineness and care for others have been felt deeply here at Tufts. Her fellow students put it best: “Rumeysa is usually the first to arrive on campus: she boils water in the kettle and is ready with a warm greeting. Today, she is still everywhere with us. She is in the Turkish tea that we brewed this morning; she is at the top of our inboxes, planning the pastries she would bring to our iftar tomorrow evening; she is on the wall with her byline in an article about refugee representation in children's television and in a colorful Istanbul postcard; she is in the red swivel chair that she always sits in. Even in a department focused on human development, Rumeysa stands out as someone who reminds us daily of the importance of protecting children, cultivating joy, and connecting to our own deeper humanity. We are not the same without her steady, gentle presence”.

ALT 2. The Ward Committee shall have the following officers: Chair, 1st Vice Chair, 2nd Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Diversity Officer, each elected by the members as these by-laws provide. The Chair and 1st Vice Chair shall be of different sexes (female, male, intersex, or transitioning). Sex shall be determined at birth or by assignment. At least one female and at least one male shall serve as Chair, 1st Vice Chair, or 2nd Vice Chair.
ALT Klekota declined to share the latest version of the bylaws with Playbook ahead of when they’re expected to be finalized in mid-August, but said “we are trying to find ways to make sure women are not excluded from party leadership, while preventing anyone from being misgendered and that wording has been very difficult.”
