Like many of you, during these past few weeks, our thoughts, minds and attention have been turned to Minneapolis and the trial of Derek Chauvin.
As an educational institution, we are called upon not only to be safe harbors for diversity of thought and life, but also to be catalysts of positive change in all respects – knowledge, research, economics and culture. One of our distinctive university values is to be an institution of inclusive excellence: to be a campus that reflects and promotes – in all community members – the evolving diversity of society.
Wichita State is committed to ensuring that all members of our community are and feel valued and respected, and we know there is more to be done.
