Statement by University of Richmond faculty and staff on Charlottesville violence

We, the undersigned faculty and staff at the University of Richmond, reject racist violence like that witnessed in Charlottesville, Virginia, this past weekend. We condemn the KKK, neo-Nazis, and other white supremacist groups that attacked peaceful protesters and killed Heather Heyer. We are committed to building a safe and inclusive campus community, and we are united in our opposition to all hateful and discriminatory acts toward African Americans, Muslims, Jews, women, Latinos, people with disabilities, LGBTQ people, people of color, and others. We pledge to defend the rights and liberties of our diverse and vibrant community and we urge others on campus and in the broader Richmond community to do the same.
