In light of the recent wave of anti-Islamic rhetoric in public discourse, the University of Michigan’s Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs hereby affirms its support for the Muslim members of our community. Our collective commitment to equity, inclusion and mutual respect extends to members of the community regardless of religious affiliation. We call on all members of the University of Michigan to unequivocally oppose and condemn all attempts to discriminate against, marginalize, or denigrate students, faculty or staff on the basis of religious faith, national origin or ethnic belonging.
