A message from School of Earth and Space Exploration leadership
Statement to our Community
Though discrimination extends to many other groups, the long history of racial violence and inequity against Black people in the United States, including but not limited to the recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many other victims, requires us to specifically pronounce our commitment to their health, safety, well-being and prosperity.
