Statement Regarding the Recent Acts of Violence

May 30, 2020

Once again, we find ourselves grieving the unjust and senseless loss of life and recent acts of violence against African Americans across our nation. Miami University stands in solidarity with other higher education institutions and all who unequivocally condemn hatred, racism, bigotry, violence, intimidation, and any other attempt to divide us. We deeply mourn these deaths, most recently George Floyd. Our hearts and thoughts go out to all who suffer under these acts, to our communities, and to our nation.
