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.

Editor's note: The Collegian was told after publishing that Tuesday's event was a City of Richmond-sponsored meeting.

We, the undersigned faculty and staff, unequivocally reject and condemn President Trump’s executive actions to: limit travel from seven Muslim countries, freeze the U.S. refugee program, and vilify immigrants who live and work peacefully in the United States. More broadly, we denounce the hateful and discriminatory language and threats, including recent incidents directed against Muslims, Jews, women, Latinos, African-Americans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ people, and others. We stand ready to defend the rights and liberties of our diverse community and the rule of law upon which freedom and equality rest.
