As Americans become more aware of systemic racism and oppression against members of the Asian Pacific Islander (API) community, Cal State Fullerton is challenging its faculty, staff and students to “take the pledge” of solidarity with the API community.
In a letter on the Titans Together website, President Fram Virjee states, “Titan Family, now more than ever, it is time to take a stand and embrace the responsibility that comes with being home to the third-largest API population in the nation at a time when the very people who are the manifestation of that ranking are being subjected to discrimination, racism and even violence. We must act as an inclusive steward of place when our colleagues and classmates are suffering from this marginalization. We must call it out for what it is — racism and xenophobia — and counter it with acts of inclusion, kindness and community.”
