A statement from Division of Arts and Humanities leadership
We will not stand by to watch acts of violence inflicted upon our Black colleagues, students, families and friends — or upon Black people anywhere. We vow to use the powerful tools of our disciplines in the Arts and the Humanities to interrogate the past, act upon the present and realize a more equitable future.
