[Uosenateexec] Senate Resolution Against Racism and Systemic Oppression

[Elizabeth Skowron]

Dear Members of the Senate Executive Committee,

I'm reaching out to you in this moment in time that I 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).  The document has been crafted in consultation with numerous individuals from a variety of constituent groups on campus.  We ask for your feedback and further invite you to consider co-sponsoring the motion to be introduced in our final senate meeting of the year.  We hope to distribute the motion to the full senate Monday AM (6/8).

We realize that this request and action is coming at a busy time for all of you, at a time when you must be exhausted, worried, and struggling with a mix of feelings.  Thanks for taking time for this and please reach out to me at any time if you want to speak further and share your thoughts, concerns, or questions.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth A. Skowron, Ph.D.
