UFC Statement on Diversity and Racial Justice
The University Faculty Council supports the statement released by Vice President James C. Wimbush that “we denounce all forms of bigotry, hate, and racism,” and the statement by President Michael A. McRobbie that “there is absolutely no room at IU for discrimination or harassment based on anyone’s actual or perceived race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin or political beliefs.” UFC declares a renewed commitment to IU’s goal of strengthening diversity and equity across the campuses, and in all aspects of university life. We uphold the cause of racial justice that is at the core of the peaceful protests in the U.S. and around the world, and re-commit ourselves to training future citizens to lead us toward a socially just world.
