Chancellor's Communique
CU Anschutz Response to George Floyd Tragedy, 6-1-20
Dear students, faculty and staff,
As we attempt to process the senseless death of George Floyd, and the demonstrations that continue in Colorado and around the country, we recognize and feel deeply the outrage, pain and concern of our community.
In a message shared earlier today, we made clear that
our campus - and our community - has no place for hate of any kind. We are focused on science, medicine and, most importantly, healing for those in need. Our communities and the country are suffering. It is our sincerest hope and belief that from
this deep and repeated pain will come tremendous healing, once and for all.
Each of us may feel the weight of recent incidents differently, and we want to make sure that you are aware of the resources available, from campus groups
and initiatives to mental health and support services.
