Strengthening Our Community Amid Conflict

Long-Established Commitment

In the 2023-24 Academic Year, Brown created this site to announce the launch of a series of concrete actions to enhance efforts to create an environment for our community that is free of discrimination and harassment, and to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state laws related to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. These changes came as Brown and campuses across the country experienced a rise in reported incidents of antisemitism, Islamophobia, and anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian and anti-Israeli discrimination, and built upon existing efforts to confront all forms of racism and discrimination. The initiatives have since become embedded in the regular operations of Brown, and the University’s ongoing commitment to these efforts is reflected on websites hosted by the departments stewarding this work in partnership with offices across campus.

Through moments of intense conflict, our campus community has established a long history of working together to build a stronger Brown.

As Brown has done throughout its history, we continue to identify impactful ways to discuss activism and advocacy, academic freedom and open inquiry, and ensuring the safety of every member of the community to learn in an environment free from discrimination, where a diversity of viewpoints and experiences is celebrated and valued.
