On March 29, DePaul Newsline announced that the university has revised its mission statement.
“After 35 years, DePaul has fully revised its mission statement,” Rev. Guillermo Campuzano wrote in the article. “Through a 10-month participatory, historically grounded, yet forward-thinking process, the university gathered feedback from more than 600 community members. The updated statement is relevant and reflects the DePaul we know and the DePaul of which we dream.”
Invitations to review the statement went out previously through Newsline and on social media during the fall quarter. Various colleges, departments, student groups, administrative offices and councils invited the DePaul community to participate in the process as well.

On March 31, DePaul University’s Office of the President sent out an email to DePaul faculty, staff and students entitled “Statement Against Hate” and “Here, We Stand Together.”
The email quotes a message from St. Vincent de Paul followed by “Love and hate cannot coexist, so there is no room for hate here.”
The statement, signed by 31 top DePaul administrators, including DePaul President A. Gabriel Esteban and interim Provost Salma Ghanem, also condemns racism and violence.
“We support all who are part of our university community,” it reads. “We affirm that hate has no home here.”
