Student Government Association Statement & Gadugi

The Gadugi Partnership is a proud co-signatory to the statement from ASU's Student Government Association regarding Black Lives Matter and the need to improve diversity on our campus. The statement calls on ASU to:

  • Advocate for more faculty, staff and mental health counselors of color
  • Advocate for the immediate name change of all residential halls that are named after confederate soldiers/leaders/generals
  • Hold ourselves and our university accountable for discriminatory actions, images, signs, and slurs used by any professor and/or student/faculty
  • Work with all Intercultural Student Affairs organizations and advocate for their needs
  • Revisit and review the 2017 demands of the App State Student Power group
  • Fix and advertise the bias reporting system
  • Promote changes in legislation/policy and voting at the local, state and federal levels
S'gi to the student leaders committing to much-needed change.
