Column: On May 1, UW Chancellor Rebecca Blank wrote about the great pain that has been caused on the UW campus, particularly to students of color, by the string of hate and bias incidents that have recently occurred. She said she believes the incidents reflect a lack of understanding, not just on campus, but in our increasingly diverse nation. Blank wrote of addressing these issues with training programs in cultural competency and community building, more mental health counseling, and UW’s Diversity Framework. The UW community responded to a request for ideas with over 100 proposals that a committee is reviewing and prioritizing.
