SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 5, 2020 To our
students, families, and colleagues,
We write to you with a heaviness in our heart as we grieve with
the nation. The death of George Floyd, yet another unarmed Black
male, shines a bright spotlight on the vast systemic inequities
that exist within our society.
On top of the COVID-19 pandemic, this tragedy has caused deep
emotional trauma for many of our students, their families and
communities. In the face of this crises, now more than ever we
are committed to meeting the needs of our financial aid students,
especially those from the most marginalized communities.
