At Arizona State University, we are measured not by whom we exclude, but by whom we include and how they succeed. This is what shapes our ASU community and the Sun Devil Athletics family. It is our responsibility to our student-athletes and entire Sun Devil community to be advocates for change against racism, prejudice and bigotry. Athletic departments across the United States have significant representations of black male and female student-athletes as part of their programs. Additionally, our athletic program is well represented by black men and women in key administrative and coaching positions.
The consistent historical stream of violence against black lives in our country remains intolerable.
