Staff Council Statement of Inclusion and Support
Staff Council serves as a representative voice for staff members working throughout
the University. The goal of the Council is to ensure that staff personnel have a venue
to voice their views, interests, and concerns regarding their support of and function
within The University of Southern Mississippi. As a voice at Southern Miss, we cannot
be silent while witnessing the injustices going on in our nation. We are deeply grieved
by the scenes of the past month, and we are at a loss for words over the deaths of
George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others before and after
them. These tragedies go against all that we stand for as a council and at The University
of Southern Mississippi. Today and every day, we will continue to do the work needed
to best support and stand by our colleagues and students of color. We are in this
together, and together we will be the change we wish to see in our world, here at
USM, in Hattiesburg, along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and well beyond. You matter
to us greatly, and we are here for you.
