Bias Incident in Joe West Residence Hall
2024年5月17日
亲爱的校园社区:
We are writing to share sad and concerning news regarding a bias incident that occurred 5月4日晚上在校园里. Hateful, White supremacist messages were written on a resident's dry erase board on the 7th floor of Joe West Residence Hall. 的消息 specifically contained both anti-Black and anti-Jewish epithets. 澄清一下，这 behavior is not only a violation of our Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation policy 和我们的 学生行为准则, but also in stark contrast to our values 作为一个机构. We strongly denounce past and present hate towards anyone in our 校园社区.
While this incident may most immediately impact the residents of the 7th floor of Joe West Residence Hall, it also reverberates across our community and taps into our collective memory of similar incidents in 菠菜网lol正规平台’s past. 这一事件首先被记录下来 by the Student Conduct Office and University 住房 on 5/5. 两个部门都做出了反应 promptly and have remained in conversation with the Office of 多样性, Equity, and Inclusion, 菠菜网lol正规平台’s Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation administrator, and the University Police Department about the investigation of the incident and next steps. More importantly, 菠菜网lol正规平台 staff have reached out to impacted individuals and communities and have facilitated trauma-informed community meetings in the Joe West Residence Hall community, the Black Leadership and Opportunity Center (BLOC), and in other spaces 在校园.
We take this situation very seriously. Staff continue to work diligently to determine who committed this act and to hold responsible parties accountable for their actions.
