Today, �������� joined 37 local businesses and organizations in supporting the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce’s declaration against racism, which supports the passage of the city, county, and state resolutions declaring racism as a public health crisis. �������� recognizes its responsibility to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus and in the community.

“As the tragic events of the past month–including the killing of George Floyd–exposed the undercurrent of systemic racism and injustice in our country, we are angered by the ongoing racism and other forms of discrimination that our Black students, faculty, staff, and alumni are enduring” shared President Jessica Barry. “�������� does not tolerate discrimination in any form and we are dedicated to advancing a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusiveness. We are hopeful for the future and encouraged to see our community protesting to end systemic racism and police brutality towards African Americans and advocating for change.”

�������� administration is developing initiatives to help students, faculty, and staff understand diverse perspectives, identify unconscious biases, and develop skills to make �������� a more welcoming and inclusive environment. Ongoing training will be provided that targets awareness, communication, attitudes, and behaviors.
