Racial Justice

The verdict that found Derek Chauvin guilty of the murder of George Floyd is a significant moment of accountability, though it does not resolve the ongoing effects of structural racism. These effects are evident in many fatal and otherwise unjust law enforcement actions against Black persons before and after the murder of Mr. Floyd, including Breonna Taylor and Sandra Bland. Close to our daily work as the College of Education, the effects of structural racism are evident in ongoing and deeply entrenched educational and health inequities in our society that directly harm Black and other communities of color. Together as the College of Education and in solidarity with our Black students, staff, faculty, and leaders, we recommit ourselves to intentionally opposing racism, bigotry, and hatred; to responsibility for ending educational and health inequities; and to the work of racial justice within and beyond the university. We invite all to join in the university’s ongoing healing, solidarity and educational events including those through Inclusive Excellence – Student Initiatives and faculty and staff opportunities through Inclusive Excellence and the college’s Equity Action professional development. Black Lives Matter.
