Statement on "Unite the Right" Event
The Faculty Senate Executive Council and the General Faculty Council strongly condemn the hatred, violence, and intimidation that the supporters of the recent "Unite the Right" event brought to the Charlottesville community and the University of Virginia. We repudiate the white supremacist, white nationalist, and neo-Nazi ideologies lying at the heart of these actions.
Statement on US President's Immigration Executive Order
The President’s recent executive order banning entry to the United States of citizens from seven predominately Muslim countries, as well as refugees from all countries, is a moral outrage. It threatens lives and divides families, including those of students, staff, and faculty of the University of Virginia. It also threatens the basic values of inclusiveness, equality, and respect for human dignity that we stand for as a university in the public trust.
