Hi Pedro - I won’t be at the meeting, I have a conflict and Dan Tichenor will be my substitute.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I agree that this resolution would benefit from some teeth. As it is it is mostly calling on “the university” - I assume this means the university administration - to do things - e.g. report on the UOPD and for the President’s Task Force to act.
This is unlikely to have much effect. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I suggest that the Senate instead appoint its own committee to investigate and report on these issues, as well as on other issues such as UO's exploitation of black-student athletes and the effectiveness of the VPEI’s office as currently structured.
The charge should include bringing appropriate legislation to the Senate for vote. <br class="">

Please add my name to co-sponsor this motion. Kristin Yarris and I were crafting a similar motion to also ask for specific measures to monitor and assuage the impact the current context (including COVID-19 and Homeschooling for academic families, particularly
faculty of color in our community) is having on women scholars and faculty of color. We are thinking of ways of adding additional points as friendly ammendments.</div>

We are reaching out to you in this moment in time that we believe calls for strong leadership from the university senate. Incoming senate president Elliot Berkman and I have prepared this senate resolution against racism and systemic oppression (attached). </div>

The impetus for this resolution began when a student advocacy group reached out to us requesting that we put forward a resolution on their behalf. They asked us to craft “<i class="">a strong, collaborative message to be sent to the University focused on addressing
(their) feelings of grief, isolation, and unsafety.”</i><span class="x_apple-converted-space"> </span>We have attempted to do so here, by gathered advice and suggestions from numerous individuals from a variety of constituent groups on campus. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
