历史性的和系统性的种族主义:
给学生的信息

Email from SPU President Dan Martin and the Senior 领导团队 to all undergraduate and graduate students on May 31, 2020.

在这个全球危机时期, the safety and well-being of 好的赌博软件推荐 students remains paramount to the mission of this place and it is something we take seriously. 今天早上, 作为一个社区, we continue to grieve the ongoing assault on Black bodies and the historic and systemic racism in the United States and the Church that has given rise to recent events. At the very root of this evil is a fundamental devaluing of lives. It is the same devaluing that has fueled anti-Asian racism and xenophobia in the wake of COVID19, and it is antithetical to the gospel of Jesus Christ which calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. While all students are negatively affected by this climate of fear and racism, we know that recent acts of racial trauma and violence are having a disproportionate and deleterious impact on students of color.

The University’s leadership wants to make clear that we denounce any acts of bias, 歧视, 骚扰, and hate and stand ready to listen and respond to the needs of students within the SPU community. 正如在昨天的校园信息中提到的, there will be a series of Zoom sessions for members of the campus community to process recent events, 寻求支持, 并找出前进的解决方案. Members of the leadership team will also provide additional space for students of color to voice their concerns.

赌博十大靠谱软件正在倾听,并将继续这样做.

We are aware that students of color want a safe and effective system for reporting incidents that create a hostile educational and living environment. The University believes this is important and is committed to continuing to improve its policies and procedures to be responsive to the needs of the campus. 今年早些时候, the University engaged an external consultant to conduct a thorough review of SPU’s policies and practices for addressing complaints by faculty and staff of 歧视, 骚扰, 以及不专业的行为, and the University plans to make revisions to both its student and employee policies based on feedback from the consultants and from community members.

随着改进的进行, please know that there is currently a process in place for students to report bias-related incidents, 其中包括“体检吗?, spoken, visual, 或者书面的虐待行为, 骚扰, 恐吓, 或粗俗, or remarks of a personally destructive nature toward another person because of actual or perceived defining characteristics.“如果你在寻求帮助, advocacy, 或者对与偏见有关的事件进行补救, we encourage you to make a report to one of the designated report receivers:

  • Dr. Jeff Jordan, Vice President for 好的赌博软件推荐: (206) 281-2481; jordaj2@422121.com; on campus: Room 209 Student Union Building; by mail - 好的赌博软件推荐, 第三大道西3307号, 212套房, Seattle, WA 98119
  • Dr. Sandra Mayo, Vice President for 多样性, Equity, and Inclusion: (206) 281-2191; mayos@422121.com; on campus – Demaray Hall 253; by mail – 好的赌博软件推荐, 第三大道西3307号, 104套房, Seattle, WA 98119
  • Rev. Lisa Ishihara, University Chaplain: (206) 281-2458; chaplainlisa@422121.com; on campus: Room 200 Student Union Building; by mail - 好的赌博软件推荐, 第三大道西3307号, 207套房, Seattle, WA 98119

Yet, we know that a bias reporting system alone will not cultivate the kind of community that affirms and upholds the dignity of all students. Work remains in areas of curricular development and classroom pedagogy, 课外计划和资源, and ensuring that students of color have adequate representation in SPU’s faculty and staff.  This is ongoing and long-term work that requires the efforts of faculty, staff, 还有行政管理,在个人身上工作, 部门, and institutional level to identify and alleviate deeply rooted institutional biases. 多元化办公室, Equity, and Inclusion continues to focus its efforts on providing resources for all faculty and staff to develop diversity competencies; creating diversity action plans that lead to change at the department and universitywide level; and establishing hiring processes that mitigate bias and contribute to a more diverse workforce at SPU.

在这个时候, 事情似乎比以往任何时候都更具破坏性, when the campus community remains physically distanced and less able to engage each other’s stories, we have an opportunity and responsibility to create new pathways for cultivating deep listening and bringing healing and repair. 赌博十大靠谱软件相信赌博十大靠谱软件有能力做到这一点, and take responsibility to ensure that we become better than ever.

As a leadership team, we remain committed to taking active steps toward change.
