Racism has no place at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ. Racism dehumanizes our BIPOC community members with audism and other-isms.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ recognizes that it is not enough to simply say racism is unacceptable from our community members or on our campus. Therefore, we are taking measurable steps to be anti-racist––actively advocating for racial equity and taking a firm stand against racial inequity.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ recognizes that community members are on a continuum of self-awareness, knowledge, and skills related to racial identity development, emotional intelligence, and the historical and societal implications of race and racism. We also recognize that racial bias can be unconscious or unintentional but still causes harm that needs repair.
Therefore, all members of our community are expected to act mindfully and intentionally, honoring the humanity of all, treating them with dignity and respect.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ continually develops and implements strategies that confront, challenge, and dismantle systemic racism within all departments, divisions, schools, and units.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ commits significant resources to anti-racism education, race-based research, and reform.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ students, faculty, staff, and board of trustees are obligated to report any actual or alleged instances of racism (2.28 Anti-Discrimination Policy).

We are grateful for all the students, faculty, advocates, and leaders who have come forward to express their very personal stories of pain and suffering and share their concerns and suggestions.
Our six imperatives guide our everyday choices. They set our sights on the future to make a better world and a better ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ.
We will continue to listen to and engage black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) community members, including the student, staff, and faculty organizations at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ and outside of ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ.
