Anti-Racism Task Force
SIUE’s Anti-Racism Task Force (ARTF) launched in June 2020. Their charge was to recommend swift and meaningful actions that would propel the University forward in its disruption of racism on campus, and prepare graduates and community members to confront racism whenever they may encounter it. In October 2020, the four subcommittees of the ARTF put forward 78 recommendations. The University is steadily implementing these recommendations, but is acutely aware that racism is not a momentary issue. It is a systemic issue that demands sustained attention and action overtime.
