University Statements
- 91¸£ÀûÉç condemns tactics designed to intimidate and threaten our students, faculty and staff. Outside groups publicly attempting to shame 91¸£ÀûÉç community members is not a productive way to address the difficult conversations facing our society in a respectful and civil manner.Â
- While the principles of academic freedom and freedom of expression protect the speech of 91¸£ÀûÉç faculty, staff and students, that does not mean their points of view represent the perspectives of the university—nor that we endorse them. In an update Oct. 30, I want to recognize the Department of Ethnic Studies for its decision to remove its Oct. 22 online statement.
- In light of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, we want you to know we stand with you during these challenging times and offer resources for your academic success, well-being and safety.
- We are horrified and saddened by the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. We stand against all acts of violence and human suffering, and recognize the profound effects of the crisis on people living in the region, as well as Israeli and Palestinian scholars and students here in Colorado and around the world. Read the full statement.
