MU Faculty Council chair Ben Trachtenberg released a statement late Friday on behalf of the council, which offers support to protesters.
The letter stated the faculty will continue to work with students and administration through the Race Relations and Diversity Enhancement committees "to pursue justice."
"To our students who are hurting, please know that you are not alone," Trachtenberg wrote in the faculty council’s letter. "Your faculty stand with you in desiring a more perfect university, and we will stand with you in working to make that desire real."
"We just opened this up to any members of the Jewish community who would want to come table with us," said Thalia Sass, president of the Jewish Student Organization.
