At its core, Denison is a community with a ‘firm belief in human dignity and compassion’ in which we respect one another, regardless of our identities. We celebrate diversity as a strength from which we grow and learn from one another. We are alarmed at the rising tide of Islamophobia, the attacks upon Muslims and the vandalism of their institutions. We acknowledge the position in which Muslims have been put as a result of the climate globally and now in the national(istic) rhetoric. We recognize the members of the Muslim community among the students, staff and faculty here at Denison and the challenges that they face at this time. They are we and we are they. We condemn the exploitation of recent events to foster hateful rhetoric and to suggest the adoption of racist policies. We stand as one community against xenophobic blame-mongering. We vow to stand up against Islamophobia wherever it occurs, to take appropriate measures against hateful and discriminatory speech or actions, and to work towards an inclusive world that fosters peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
