A message from President Sarah Mangelsdorf and Provost David Figlio on the Supreme Court decision<\/a><\/div>\n

The US Supreme Court released its decision<\/strong><\/a> on the validity of race or ethnicity as recognized criteria in university admissions. The University of Rochester is carefully reviewing the decision with our legal team and others to determine the potential impact on our operations. Fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging is a central tenet of our\u00a0institutional vision and values<\/strong><\/a> and extends to policies and practices for admissions, recruitment, and employment in accordance with the principles of equal opportunity and in compliance with applicable laws. While we undergo this analysis, we once again affirm the University\u2019s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we recognize that higher education and society at-large benefit from the diversity of thought that emerges from the open exchange of ideas among people from different backgrounds, identities, experiences, and beliefs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
