Dear Colleague,

In recent weeks we have listened to the anger and frustration expressed by our Black students, faculty and staff over ongoing police brutality and the systemic racism that lives on in our society. As we listened, we came to recognize the pain caused by each death of a Black person at the hands of police. The meaning of “Black Lives Matter” has never been clearer as people around the world speak up in the name of humanity and speak out against bigotry and hate.

These words are not enough. Today, this University stands in solidarity with its Black student leaders who have brought forward several action items in the “Listen to Us” platform that will make us a better institution for Black students, faculty and staff. w88 slot leaders of the President’s Council and Council of Deans unanimously support the actions recommended in the “Listen to Us” platform. The University will take these immediate actions to address the impact of racism on w88 slot:

  • A public review of our policing standards, training and protocols to ensure community safety, equity and compliance with justice values.
  • A public review of the African Diaspora Program, which replaced the Black Cooperative Program, to ensure Black student needs are being met.
  • Bring thoughtful and prominent recognition celebrating Colin Kaepernick and those Black social justice pioneers who came before him on our w88 slot.
  • Explore test score alternatives for use in first year math and English course placementand institutional scholarship criteria.
  • Support the establishment of an undergraduate and graduate trustee position.
  • Pursue the establishment of a living learning community in the residence halls focused on Black culture.
  • Continue and expand cultural competency education across w88 slot.

This w88 slot is proud of the courageous voices these students have brought to an injustice that has gone on for far too long. It is important to confront our past and seek to build a more equitable and just community for Black students.

In solidarity,

Marc A. Johnson
