UVA Black Faculty and Staff’s Statement on Racial and Social Injustice

The University of Virginia Black Faculty and Staff Employee Resource Group condemns the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and countless other

Black Americans.

We denounce systems of oppression that fuel racism in America. We reject the notion that we must continue to wait for liberty, justice, and equality. We extend our care and support to those who mourn with us and we stand with communities who call for an end of violence against Black and Brown people everywhere.
