Dear Colleagues,
Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of Cuesta College’s remote operation in response to the pandemic. Over the course of the year, more than 3,800 racist attacks on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) have been reported. This week, the tragic killing of six Asian American women and two of their co-workers in Atlanta, brings the impact of hate to the forefront.
Cuesta College recognizes the importance of actively opposing systemic racism, intolerance, and injustice. Let us stand in solidarity and join in action to create a safe environment for every member of our campus community.
Action options:
Dr. Eric Felix, Assistant Professor, San Diego State University
In partnership with Cal Poly SLO
It is important that we remain steadfast in our commitment to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment and to disrupt all acts of racism, bias, and hate whenever and wherever we encounter them. We must uphold our mission of inspiring a diverse student population to achieve their educational goals.
In service,
Dr. Jill Stearns, Superintendent/President
Dr. Elizabeth Coria, Interim AS/VP Student Success and Support Programs
Dr. Jason Curtis, AS/VP Instruction
Melissa Richerson, VP Human Resources
Dan Troy, AS/VP Administrative Services
