Commitments to Address Anti-Blackness

In the summer of 2020 – after the murder of George Floyd and the peaceful global protests that emerged in response – the Division of Student Affairs began to evaluate the degree to which our work could more immediately address our own anti-Black, racist practices and policies from a place of humility and action.

Each unit outlined a series of initial commitments to address anti-Blackness in our work at UC San Diego. It is important to remember that this is, and will always be, an imperfect work in progress that we will advance collaboratively.
