The deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, among many others, are not only heartbreaking, but also fundamentally wrong. Racism and injustice are unacceptable and, while it will take time to address, the time to start is now. Inequality exists in many forms and across several areas including healthcare, education, housing, and economic prosperity. As these gaps are addressed, only then can our communities thrive.
We believe through listening and seeking to understand, we can drive action and collectively be a part of positive change.
Clark State's Diversity Committee is currently engaged in making sweeping changes and updates to the college's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Plan. We will be sharing those initiatives with our campuses and the communities we serve with open updates on our website and social media.
