"I cannot adequately express my sense of shared injury and outrage at yet another display of evil and bigotry in this country. The killing of eight people near Atlanta, seven of them women and six identified as Asian, has, once again, brought us to this all too familiar and painful place. To the many thousands in our Columbia community who are Asian or Asian American, we want you to know that we, too, on your behalf and for all of us, feel the anguish and justifiable fear because of this latest episode of a deep-rooted strain of racism in America. The truth is there can be no equanimity for any of us so long as violence born of bigotry and xenophobia is present in our lives."
- Lee C. Bollinger, March 18, 2021
University Life rejects bias, hatred and gender-based violence - and we stand in solidarity alongside the AAPI community.
Please see our recent message to students on standing up in the face of Anti-Asian bias, hatred and violence. You can also view statements from across the University, including a powerful Columbia News piece, "In Brief" by Professor Virginia Lee and Ph.D. candidate Tiffany Huang.
