Campus Climate Community Updates: 2015–2016
Message to the Campus Community – August 26, 2016
Nurturing and sustaining a healthy campus climate is of profound importance to Carleton. We seek to build a truly inclusive and intellectually robust community here. This is hard and necessary work that we must diligently pursue. Indeed, as we hope you are aware, a variety of initiatives are already underway to strengthen bonds of mutual respect and understanding across our College.
Message to the Campus Community – June 2, 2016
Last Spring, the College launched a series of programmatic initiatives and focused self-studies to help us better understand what makes for a healthy academic community, and how Carleton both meets and falls short of its aims. Ignorance and callousness about race, gender, class, privilege, and other aspects of identity can seriously impede teaching and learning. We had grown increasingly concerned that events and discourses occurring both on- and off-campus were exacerbating potential fault lines among students, faculty, and staff.
Message to the Campus Community – January 4, 2016
Last spring, we started conversations about race, gender, class, and privilege, what makes for a healthy community, and the ways our community falls short of its aspirations. During the summer and fall, as these same issues have received increasing attention nationwide, we have been taking action to build a stronger and more inclusive College. Since these critically important topics are central to everyone’s work and learning at Carleton, we encourage you to read our Campus Climate Initiatives to learn about our first steps in addressing the concerns that our community has identified as priorities.
Message to the Campus Community – May 28, 2015
This year our campus has witnessed some provocative incidents and exchanges—on social media, in print and through angry confrontations at campus events—that have brought tensions in our community to the fore and have reminded us that Carleton is not isolated from broader national discourses about race, gender, class, privilege and identity. Across our community, faculty, staff and students have been working hard to begin to heal these wounds.
