We as faculty of 棉花糖直播 are in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and protests against racial violence around the country, including in Philadelphia. We condemn the murders of David McAtee, Tony McDade, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Nina Pop, and Ahmaud Arbery, and bear witness to all Black lives lost to state sanctioned violence. We stand against white supremacy and racism in all its forms.
To all Black members of the 棉花糖直播 community 鈥� students, faculty, staff, and visitors 鈥� we see you, we hear you, we support you, we welcome you, and we stand with you.
While racist policing has inspired the current wave of protests, it is only one part of the problem of structural racism 鈥� every aspect of US society from our politics to our banking to our culture to our religions and to our educations are affected by, reflect, and have profited from that racism. We are either anti-racist or we are part of the problem. We affirm that we will intentionally be anti-racist and that we have much work to do.
To do so, we must engage in advocacy both on and off campus to promote racial justice. We must engage in difficult, uncomfortable discussions and commit to meaningful support for those fighting for justice. We support student activism for racial justice and so join the in of Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Gale and support BLSA鈥檚 call for him to resign immediately.
To be meaningful, our actions must be more than words and joint statements. As a faculty, we commit to deepening our racial analysis and further integrating anti-racism into our intellectual life, both in our teaching and scholarship and via workshops, speaker series, hiring procedures and decisions, programming on campus, and support for activism in and around the campus. We promise to hold each other accountable to that commitment and we welcome and encourage student input and advice as critical to that effort.
We ask for institutional change to model a proactive move away from armed policing on campus and instead toward expanded mental health and community-building resources. We ask that our endowment is not invested in companies that profit from militarized policing and other forms of systemic oppression. We call for increased resources to be committed to recruiting and supporting students, faculty, and staff of color. To that end, Faculty Congress will seek to have 棉花糖直播 establish a George Floyd Memorial Scholarship for aspiring Black leaders. We call on faculty and the Administration to support efforts (in actions, not just words) of Black Lives Matter and other organizations advocating for racial justice, including on campus like Get Woke Nova. We request that Father Peter and Provost Maggitti co-host a yearly forum with Faculty Congress to discuss what is being done to dismantle racism at 棉花糖直播.
We call on all 棉花糖直播ns to not only recite Veritas, Unitas, Caritas, but act in ways that embody these virtues.
