Dear Baker Institute community,

The Baker Institute stands with the statements made by Dean Warnick on behalf of the College of Veterinary Medicine, and those of President Pollack on behalf of the University, as it relates to our commitment to  discuss, learn, and act on issues of social justice, race and racism.

Just as the college and university have done, we are committed to ensuring that the Baker community works to uphold these same values of inclusivity, that we stand up against racism, that we support our fellow colleagues, students and friends to feel safe and heard, and that we take part in the long road ahead to ensure that we are making changes happen to create a more just and equitable community.

Sincerely,

Dr. Scott Coonrod, Director of the Baker Institute for Animal Health
