End Racism

We are committed to ending racism in all its forms. In the spring we created a task force to address anti-Black Racism, which has been meeting since July 2020. Since then we have discussed our main priorities and finalized our terms of reference. In the coming weeks we plan to engage with our student groups and key stakeholders to determine ways they wish to be involved. We also plan to organize several activities and events to address ongoing anti-Black racism.
