The resulting report has provided us a roadmap to guide us forward in operationalizing and deepening our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice in all we do. In addition, Library faculty and management have developed statements in response to the Black Lives Matter movement to articulate our Library's commitment to addressing issues of discrimination, racism, bias, and inequities.
