On June 5, 2020, the University Senate endorsed a statement from the Equity, Access, and Diversity Committee (EAD) on the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. The statement is reflective of feedback from EAD, senators, and many constituents through their elected senators. Thank you to all who engaged in this discussion. (Photo by munshots on Unsplash.)
