As faculty, students, and staff of DePauw University (Greencastle, IN), we condemn Governor Mike Pence’s stance on resettling Syrian refugees in the state of Indiana. As educators, scholars, and students we believe that Governor Pence’s actions are inhumane, discriminatory, and will only serve to foment hatred and bigotry in our state. These are not values that we stand for. As our catalog states:
“Since its founding by frontier Methodists, DePauw has sought to foster moral reflection and humane values among its students. Its strong tradition of service to humanity – whether in the Greencastle community or around the world – manifests its belief that moral engagement and civic responsibility should guide our actions and commitments.”
We affirm our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive community that is open and welcoming of everyone from every part of the world. We stand in solidarity with refugees from Syria and with all those fleeing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
