In Grief and Outrage, Our Commitment to Supporting Lasting Change: An Open Letter to the Rasmussen College Community
"I join Rasmussen College students, faculty, staff and alumni – and Americans across the nation – in grief and outrage at the racism and injustice that has for far too long been targeted at members of the black community." - Dr. Ann Leja, Interim President
I join Rasmussen College students, faculty, staff and alumni – and Americans across the nation – in grief and outrage at the racism and injustice that has for far too long been targeted at members of the black community. This issue was brought into even starker focus by the tragic death of Mr. George Floyd at the hands of the police right in Rasmussen’s hometown of Minneapolis. It also reminds us that many of our black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) students, faculty, staff and alumni and their families suffer from the effects of systemic racism every single day.
