As the Faculty Senate for The University of Alabama, we speak with one voice in support of Alabama students who were harmed by explicitly bigoted, anonymous text messages targeting Black students on campus last week. There is no place for hatred or harassment targeting Alabama students, and we unequivocally condemn such acts. We are educators because we are committed to supporting students by creating safe, healthy learning environments where students can develop substantive knowledge and professional skills. As members of the faculty, we are available to speak with any students who were harmed directly or indirectly by the bigoted text messages. Students should feel free to reach out to faculty for support and to the Office of Student Care and Wellbeing. We are confident that we can build a better future for this campus and work together to build a stronger community.
