Advancing Southern Towards a Social Justice and Anti-racist University

At Southern, we are committed to identifying and addressing systemic barriers to equity, access, and success for all members of our community.  We are also committed to constructive dialogues where we treat one another with dignity, respect, kindness, compassion and civility as we share varying perspectives, with the goal of creating a culture of inclusion and belonging.
