Dear Campus Community,
We categorically condemn the recent incidences of violence and hate crimes against Asian Americans, many of which have been disgracefully targeted toward the elderly. There has been a dramatic escalation of these attacks in the last year, both across the country as well as here in North Carolina. We are committed to supporting the Asian American community and engaging the wider community through the work of Carolina’s Asian American Center and encourage you to access the resources and events that the center provides. Education and engagement are powerful forces in combating the stereotypes and bias that contribute to these attacks.
