Members of the UT Dallas Community,Over the last few days, I have heard from concerned students and colleagues about the horrific footage of George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis. As president of UT Dallas, I reinforce the values of community, diversity and tolerance we share on our campus. We, at UT Dallas, recommit to providing a safe, welcoming environment to all people, regardless of race, religion, ethnic origin, disability, gender identity or sexual orientation. I ask that we all recommit ourselves so that, as Comets, we live the values we hope become reality for all people across our nation. Let UT Dallas be a beacon of decency to the rest of the nation.
