In an email to the community on May 31, SPU President Dan Martin and Senior Leadership acknowledge how recent acts of racial trauma and violence are having a disproportionate impact on students of color. "In this time, when things seem more disruptive than ever, when the campus community remains physically distanced and less able to engage each other’s stories, we have an opportunity and responsibility to create new pathways for cultivating deep listening and bringing healing and repair. We believe in our capacity to do so, and take responsibility to ensure that we become better than ever."
