1. President White Responds to Chauvin Trial Verdict
Following the Derek Chauvin trial verdict, President Lori White sent a mass email on Tuesday, April 20 in response and reaction to the news.
“This verdict does not mean that I, or any one of us, must accept the structures and systems that continue to devalue African-American lives nor ignore the statistics that show African Americans are not treated equitably by the police,” Dr. White said.
The email informed that there will be virtual spaces for students, staff and faculty to share their thoughts and emotions regarding the trail tomorrow on Wednesday, April 21. A faculty panel discussion will be held tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. via Zoom, the link for which will be sent out tomorrow. The Center for Spiritual Life will be offering a virtual healing space tomorrow at 11 a.m. via Zoom as well.
