Chancellor Fuller asserts support for those affected by racist messaging at the University's sister campus

From the desk of Chancellor Mark A. Fuller

Dear Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Dartmouth Community,

We were all dismayed to learn that African American and Black students at Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Amherst were subjected to vile, racist email messages last week. While these hateful acts did not target our campus, we are one Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, and when individuals attempt to spread hate and division, we must come together.

Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Dartmouth unequivocally condemns all forms of racism and identity-based harassment, and stands in solidarity with the Black community here on our campus, at Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Amherst and at all our sister Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø campuses.

These disturbing, racist attacks were a powerful reminder that we must constantly assert our values while we work together to dismantle systemic racism. At Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Dartmouth, we strive to create a welcoming environment that encourages respect and understanding of a multitude of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. We have many wonderful resources to help us in that important work, and I’ve asked Chief Diversity Officer David Gomes to reach out and outline these and some of our ongoing efforts.

As we live, learn and work together this fall, let’s celebrate our diversity, support one another and continue our work to combat racism with renewed energy and purpose.

Best,

 

Chancellor Fuller
