Over the last several weeks, students, faculty, and staff have spoken passionately about the challenges they face as a result of racism and other persistent forms of prejudice. Others have described, in close detail, the ways in which our not acknowledging these challenges has compromised their experience at Carolina. I have been greatly moved by the pain, frustration, and weariness that have been expressed, and I am profoundly grateful to all who have spoken, and especially to our students, for the courage and resolve they have shown. . ."
