Racial Justice Network (RJN)
Our Racial Justice Network is a cooperative, pluralist approach to cultivating racial equity in our school’s academic programs, research agendas, administrative policies and informal culture.
Rather than taking a single path, forming a single committee, or concentrating on a single front, our networked approach enables individuals and groups to create a node within this larger system, taking action on the issues and in the ways they see fit.
We hope that this approach will honor and capitalize on the diversity among us, allowing our school to work on multiple fronts with the unified purpose of moving toward racial justice.
