Antiracism and Healing

There’s a critical need to move beyond traditional conversations of diversity, equity and inclusion that focus on business outcomes. Current policies, systems and environments disproportionately impact many marginalized groups on campus and in broader communities. Leading with and centering race is not intended to negate this. This approach acknowledges that race remains the most prominent and consistent factor in differentiated opportunities in employment, well-being and overall success. This illustrates that institutional and systemic racism exists and continues to persist   which requires us to critically think about how race intersects with all identities and forms of power and oppression.

Racism has a cost for everyone. Addressing racism and working toward antiracism is critical to our communities’ collective healing and well-being.
