Racial Equity Resources
The University of Redlands launches Anti-Racism Committee.
Charged with developing an anti-racism plan, the committee will also identify ways to better elevate and consider the voices and perspectives from our communities of Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x/Hispanic, and people of color.
In November 2020, the University of Redlands’ faculty, staff, and Trustees issued a statement affirming the University’s rejection of racism in all forms and expressing its commitment to creating an anti-racism action plan. While the University has been engaged in addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion issues, it is crucial that we honestly and directly address the issue of racism in our community. We realize that anti-racism must necessarily include attention to intersectionality and that this work is needed to ensure equality for all members of our University community. We also recognize that this work impacts individuals personally and appreciate the work that our campus community has already done, by individuals and through multiple groups, to address these issues and improve our community.
