A message from the Office of the President:
"We recognize the pain, anger, suffering and numbness the murder of George Floyd and subsequent trial have caused our Black students, faculty, staff and community members. We have no illusion that Derek Chauvin’s conviction will bring an end to violence against people of color. This is one case, among far too many. We simply are not doing enough as a society to stop such violence. That must change. At OSU, we must do our part to bring that change.
"Please join a “Humanity and Hope” gathering at 5:30 p.m. today, in person on the Corvallis Campus’s Memorial Union Quad and live streaming, where we will engage in dialogue about what has occurred in this trial and provide support for Black students, faculty, staff and community members."
We ask all members of our community to pause and reflect on the senseless taking of George Floyd’s life, and the continued violence being perpetrated against people of color across our nation by police."
