Gonzaga University Black Student Union

The Gonzaga University Black Student Union is a student organization based at Gonzaga University in the United States. Its primary purpose is to support Black students and foster a sense of community on campus. The group provides a forum for discussion of issues affecting Black students and promotes awareness of Black culture and history. It organizes regular meetings, events, and programs that are open to members and sometimes the broader university community. These gatherings have included virtual meetings conducted via platforms such as Zoom. Through its activities, the BSU seeks to advocate for inclusion and equity within the university environment.

The organization is formally affiliated with Gonzaga University, operating under the university's student life structure. In November 2020, the BSU hosted a virtual meeting that was disrupted by individuals who used offensive screen names and shared hateful content. The incident prompted the university's IT team to identify the attackers' IP addresses, which were both domestic and international, and to share that information with law enforcement. Following the disruption, the FBI and local police launched a joint investigation into the Zoom‑bombing. The event led Gonzaga University to reinforce its Zoom security protocols and to advise all campus groups on best practices for securing virtual gatherings. The BSU continues to function as a student‑run organization that supports its members while navigating the evolving landscape of campus engagement.
