FAS Senate Statement

February 9, 2022

Dear FAS Colleagues,

We are deeply dismayed and angered by the news that many historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have received bomb threats —appallingly, even on the first day of Black History Month in the U.S. We understand the events of last week to be part of a broader pattern of intimidation within African American life. We denounce the racism implicit in these threats, which harm University community members and disrupt the research and teaching missions of these important pillars of the U.S. higher education system.

We ask you to join us in supporting the affected communities by reaching out to your HBCU colleagues. We stand in solidarity with our nation’s HBCUs and are united in recognizing the urgency of protecting every academic environment so that all have access to the freedoms that education brings.

Best regards,

Valerie Horsley, FAS Senate Chair
Aimee Cox, FAS Senate Deputy Chair
Sybil Alexandrov, FAS Senate Executive Committee member
Matthew Jacobson, FAS Senate Executive Committee member
Gerald Jaynes, FAS Senate Executive Committee member
Meg Urry, FAS Senate Executive Committee member
