Over the past months, our campus has experienced several threats to our learning environment that challenge individuals’ ability to thrive. These incidents are not isolated and we understand that they are signs of deep racial and gender biases (among other bigotries) that have been perpetuated in our country for now hundreds of years. As leaders within the university community, we acknowledge with humility and with empathy the hurt, pain, and damaging effects on mental and physical well-being that these bigotries and threats have produced. Any such threats are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. READ FULL STATEMENT Sign up for S.J. Quinney College of Law emailGet College of Law email on events, news, or specific programs.
