President Davenport s Statement on Inappropriate Banner Displayed Near Campus

"I applaud our Student Government’s statement today and stand with them and our entire community in deploring the despicable banner that was displayed near campus earlier this week. Please be assured we have taken every measure within our purview to investigate and deal with this incident. UC’s offices of Student Affairs, Student Conduct and Community Standards, Title IX, Public Safety and my office have been jointly involved in the investigation since it was brought to our attention. Thank you to those who saw something and said something. It clearly is on us, all of us, to make UC a place of dignity and respect for everyone, a place where gender-based attacks, including verbal ones, will not be accepted, and where we will stand together as part of the solution for creating a safe campus for everyone."
