January 18, 2009 incident in which a maintenance employee at the Standard Hotel negligently disposed of chlorine and muriatic acid that were located near the hotelโ€™s rooftop pool. The worker pumped both chemicals into the Standard Hotelโ€™s rooftop storm drain. This mix of chemicals caused gases to form in the storm drain system, and some of those gases were released into a subway station near the hotel at 7th and Figueroa. When authorities responded to the subway station, they encountered a chemical smell and several victims, including a law enforcement officer, who were affected by the chemicals. The intersection of 6th and Flower was closed for several hours because of gas escaping from the storm drain system.

The work of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in Jesuit secondary schools is neither a novelty nor a reaction to recent shifts in society. D.E.I.B. has always been a component of our mission as Catholic institutions. But in the summer of 2020, there was a reckoning in the United States: Thousands of people took to the streets to protest police brutality and systemic racial inequality across the nation, sparked by the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. Shortly after, the alarming rise of cases of discrimination and violence toward Asian Americans, derived from their wrongfully perceived connection to the Covid-19 pandemic, amplified the need to elevate D.E.I.B. work in all Jesuit school communities.
