School of Social Work Anti-Racist Principles
In response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the ongoing calls for racial justice, the School of Social Work began the process of critically examining our own organization to determine the extent to which our policies, practices, and curricula are anti-racist. As part of that process, our School developed a draft set of anti-racism principles anchored in our social work values to guide all organizational functions. We are committed to adopting principles that achieve anti-racist outcomes because we understand the incredibly deleterious effects racism has on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students, the clients we serve, and society as a whole.
