Biology Antiracism Committee

The Biology Antiracism Committee (BAC) strives to dismantle systemic barriers, build inclusive policies and practices, and promote a culture and climate in which a diverse and integrated community thrives.

We embrace the opportunity to work together for transformative change – in our departments, university, and more broadly. We know that our community, our science, and our lives benefit from full integration of many kinds of people, with diverse perspectives and life experiences. These include people of different races, ethnicities, nationalities, immigration statuses, sexes, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, ages, abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and more.

We know that our department, our science, and our lives benefit from the full representation of diverse perspectives and life experiences. Thus, BAC works to ensure that we recruit and support world-class students, staff, and faculty whose experiences and viewpoints embolden the academic endeavor.

BAC membership and leadership are open to all students, staff, and faculty from the Department of Biology.
