Commitment To Social Justice
We stand in solidarity with the Black and Indigenous members of our department, and in the mathematical and statistical community at large. We acknowledge that systemic racism is present throughout our society, our academic institutions, and in scientific communities (including in mathematics and statistics), and that this systemic racism causes and perpetuates the underrepresentation and marginalization of people of colour within our community. We recognize that it is our responsibility to change and to educate ourselves, and to take concrete measures to reduce racism in all its forms.
