The Rubenstein School Condemns Systemic Racism
 
Several months ago, the faculty, staff and students in the Rubenstein School refined our strategic vision and committed to building a just, equitable, and sustainable world together. We must rectify the injustices in our society to create an equitable world, one in which a person’s identities do not dictate their access to opportunities or the value of their life. We must do this work first if we are to also realize a sustainable world. This is not simply a critique of the world we are observing outside of the Rubenstein School. Within our own community, we must take full ownership and responsibility for our own shortcomings. Listen to the Rubenstein School's statement condemning systemic racism and committing to the Black Lives Matter movement >>
