On Monday night, the State College Borough Council met virtually to discuss the diversity of the borough and the future of mental health.
Councilmember Katherine Oh Yeaple prepared a resolution condemning hate, bias and exclusionary behavior toward Asians, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, which the council voted to adopt.
âActs of bias and hate crimes have increased nationally toward Asian Americans,â Yeaple said.
Council member Evan Myers supported the motion and said the council must speak in one voice to say it is not acceptable.
Additionally, Lt. Greg Brauser of the State College Police Department gave an overview of the department s recent work on the International Association of Chiefs of Police Report Implementation Committee.
