In response to the horrific racist and misogynist violence that occurred here in Atlanta this week, the Diversity Committee of the Department of Communication stands with GSU's Asian and Asian-American students, staff and faculty. We know that such Anti-Asian sentiment is not new, and we recognize that the past year, due to misinformation and misrepresentation, has led to a rise in this sentiment as well as hate crimes.
We condemn these incidences. We condemn the racism and misogyny that leads to them. We stand in solidarity with our Asian and Asian-American students and colleagues. We will continue to educate ourselves, educate our students, and educate our communities to combat systemic racism. We aim to be allies and hope to help foster safer, more inclusive communities here at GSU and elsewhere.
Thank you,
The Diversity Committee of the Dept. of Communication
