Faculty Voice Newsletter: November 2016: Message from Faculty Senate

by Robin McFarland

The Faculty Senate adopted the following resolution. We stand with our students, our campus colleagues, and our community as we face the future together.

Be it resolved, in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 presidential election, that the Faculty of the Cabrillo College Senate stand united as part of an academic community enriched by the diversity of our students, faculty, staff, and community members.

Each individual and group has the potential to contribute in our learning environment. We welcome all students to learn to the best of their abilities on our campus in an environment free from racism, sexism, bigotry, harassment, and oppression.

We uphold these ideals ourselves, and strongly encourage our colleagues across the college both to uphold these ideals, and to teach them when appropriate to our students as a way to move human society forward.
