Department statement on Anti-Asian racism

Rising incidents of hate and violence toward persons of Asian heritage, including the recent violence in Atlanta, must be called out as unacceptable.  We condemn all forms of hate-based violence, discrimination, and stereotypes, including the recent anti-Asian/AAPI racism.  We value and support the families and communities of our Asian/AAPI faculty, students, and staff in our community.

We provide several resources to help provide support and solidarity.
