NSU posted, “Our students, faculty, staff, & administration came together to stand united for a change on our campus & community.” 

As part of the event, we affirmed the following statements. 

“At NSU, we affirm that we face the same challenges as other institutions when it comes to fighting biases, ethical breaches, and abuses of power. We will continue to uphold our integrity by being mindful of our decisions about how we lead and how we use our powers to uplift others.

We affirm our unique strengths and cultural resources. We affirm to build a robust sense of self that strengthens our students, faculty, staff, and campus community. We affirm that Black Lives Matter and that racism is unacceptable and must be eliminated.

We affirm that inclusion, equity, and diversity will be our guiding principles as we continue to shape the institution into a place where everyone feels liberated. We affirm that misogyny, nor discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation will be tolerated.

We affirm to be a leader in the work of inclusion, equity, and diversity.  But not just by printed words on our brochures, but by our actions we undertake in our day to day activities.”

Editor’s Note:  We believe there is a typo in this post.  It appears a word (not) was left out in the last sentence of the next to last paragraph.  The story appears here as it was posted.
