The Faculty Senate Council on Racial Justice presented for the consideration of the Faculty Senate, which was unanimously approved 12/1/2021.
The resolution highlights concerns about a progression of amendments and legislation which threaten academic freedom, the cultural climate at Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV for faculty, staff and students, and further makes faculty and staff who teach and train on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion, critical race theory and other pedagogical and scientific theories vulnerable. The resolution asks Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV leadership to issue a public statement in opposition to these highlighted bills, amendments, and pieces of legislation and to make a clear declaration of support for Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV faculty and staff who teach in these areas.
