OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

ALL ACADEMICS, STAFF AND STUDENTS AT UC SAN DIEGO
SUBJECT: A Message from President Napolitano to the UC Community
about
George Floyd's Death and Related Protests
To the University of California community:
I write to share with you the statement
(https://go.ucsd.edu/36SGs92)
of my outrage over the senseless and tragic death of George
Floyd in
Minnesota, and the many Black lives lost before him.
Like many of you, I am incensed over the continued brutality
against
people of color in communities across the country and I condemn,
in the
strongest terms possible, abuses of power by those charged with
enforcing the law. We also must condemn the acts of violence
that have
infected lawful, peaceful protests, and not let those actions
distract
us from confronting the fundamental issues that George Floyd’s
killing
made so evident.
As we react with disbelief on the state of our country, we must
also
reflect on the brutal history that got us to this point – and
where we
go from here. We must examine our own biases and find a way to
eliminate
the systemic racial inequities that pervade our country in order
to
effect real and lasting change. We must ensure that every
American life
is valued and protected equally in the eyes of the law. Only
then can we
heal, together, as a nation.
Fundamentally, this is about upholding one of America’s, and
UC’s,
bedrock principles: that all people are equal, and deserve to be
treated
fairly and respectfully. We all deserve to live, work and go
about our
lives without fear.
Yours
very truly,
Janet
Napolitano
President
