SUNY Student Representatives Respond to Hate Speech at SUNY Geneseo

The following statement was submitted today by SUNY Student Assembly President Marc J. Cohen and SUNY Geneseo Student Government President Michael Baranowski.

"This past weekend, more than 350 student leaders from across the State University of New York came together for our annual fall conference. We unanimously and vigorously support SUNY's unwavering dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We condemn the recent abhorrent display of hate, racial bigotry and anti-Semitism at SUNY Geneseo in the strongest terms, and will continue our efforts to make all campuses welcoming and inclusive places to live and learn. This glaring reminder that hatred and evil exists among us can be very frightening. We encourage anyone who needs it to avail themselves of counseling services provided on campus, and we ask each and every student to move forward united and resolved to fight against prejudice and bigotry of any kind."
