HBCU Statement

2-4-22

Dear Keck Science Community,                                           

At least nineteen historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have received bomb threats over the past week. Any threat of violence is indefensible, but the racist nature of these attacks is particularly reprehensible. We express our support and solidarity to all who have been affected by the threats. We encourage everyone to practice grace, flexibility, and understanding with each other in a difficult time for many of the members of our community.

For our students affected by these incidents, we urge you to take advantage of the resources listed below.
