[ad_1]

February 1, 2023 —

Members of the UM community:

As co-chairs of the Anti-Racism Task Force, we are pleased to announce that today we launched UM’s Anti-Racism webpage and released an interim report with recommendations to fight against racism.

These foundational recommendations, focused on education, policies, and processes, lay the foundation for dismantling racism in all its forms throughout our UM community.

The Anti-Racism Task Force was established a year ago in February 2022 – a key step in advancing racial justice.

This interim report reflects the progress of the Anti-Racism Task Force and presents recommendations for immediate action based on the important work already done by community members, stakeholder groups and key offices of the university and on the expertise of the members of the working group.

Interested in sharing your thoughts? The anti-racism webpage offers you the opportunity to give your opinion on questions such as: What does the anti-racism mean to you? What does an anti-racism strategy look like to you?

Community engagement sessions will begin soon, with details to be posted on the webpage.

There will also be learning opportunities for students, faculty and staff to build capacity for anti-racism actions through upcoming events, including Black History Month activities such as:

We thank all members of the task force for their continued work and important contributions, and we look forward to your participation as members of our UM community.
