Carter School Anti-Racism Statement

Just before winter break, the Faculty Board voted to approve the Carter School Anti-Racism Statement as well as language to be added to course syllabi. This statement is an important step in confirming our commitment as a school to anti-racism and inclusive excellence in our classrooms, on our campuses, and in our communities, and "to cultivate a more equitable, inclusive, and just environment for all our students, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends, regardless of racial background."

 

We want to thank the members of the DEI Committee as well as the faculty and students who provided their thoughts and feedback on the statement and what it can mean for our community. This was a collaborative process, but we are particularly grateful to the hard work of the graduate students of the John Mitchell, Jr. Program who created the original draft.
