总统多元化委员会声明- 2020年6月3日

我们对上周一乔治·弗洛伊德被谋杀感到无比悲痛. 我们也分担了伤害, anger, love, and hope of the protestors and demonstrators who are working to bring about systemic change in the wake of the most current atrocities perpetrated upon Black people in America. We consciously recognize and acknowledge that the most recent demonstrations and protests seeking justice for George Floyd are the tragic continuation and extension of the outrage and trauma intimately connected to so many other unjustified and horrific Black and Brown deaths: Eric Garner, who also could not breathe; Michael Brown, whose hands were up; Philando Castile, who was reaching for his license; Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson, who were both killed in their homes; and far too many others.

Black men are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police than White people are; Black women 1.4 times more likely. These disparities reflect the deeper issue that demonstrators are protesting – that Black lives have not been equally valued in this country. 这种有目的的贬低是“黑人的命也是命”运动的核心. Alfred University supports the mission of The Black Lives Matter Global Network: “healing ourselves and each other, 和同志一起共同创造, allies, 家庭是一种每个人都感到被重视的文化, heard, and supported.”

皇冠体育app致力于教育我们的社区, actively acknowledging and challenging the insidious impact of bias – within our community as well as in the broader society. 我们毫不含糊地谴责历史上和现代的系统性种族主义, 在那里，偏见和权力猛烈地融合在一起，压迫和压制黑人, Brown, and other historically marginalized populations – whether in the form of economic discrimination, 获得教育和保健的机会减少, or the disproportionate killing and incarceration of Black and Brown individuals by the criminal justice system.

• Alfred University condemns the murder of George Floyd and all other victims at the hands of police officers.
• Alfred University supports and will conduct implicit bias training at our own institution.
• Alfred University supports implicit bias training and overt bias screening of police departments.
• Alfred University commits to a deliberate and intentional course of action to create an environment in which we will listen to, learn from, and amplify those voices actively and consistently advocating for equity and inclusion, through programming, 专业发展, 慈善活动.
