University Statements
- Following the tragedy at UCCS, Chancellor Philip DiStefano offers support and resources for those impacted on the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder campus.
- ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder condemns tactics designed to intimidate and threaten our students, faculty and staff. Outside groups publicly attempting to shame ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder community members is not a productive way to address the difficult conversations facing our society in a respectful and civil manner.Â
- While the principles of academic freedom and freedom of expression protect the speech of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder faculty, staff and students, that does not mean their points of view represent the perspectives of the university—nor that we endorse them. In an update Oct. 30, I want to recognize the Department of Ethnic Studies for its decision to remove its Oct. 22 online statement.
- In light of the ongoing conflict between ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ and Hamas, we want you to know we stand with you during these challenging times and offer resources for your academic success, well-being and safety.
- We are horrified and saddened by the Hamas terrorist attack on ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥. We stand against all acts of violence and human suffering, and recognize the profound effects of the crisis on people living in the region, as well as ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥i and Palestinian scholars and students here in ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ and around the world. Read the full statement.
- The ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Board of Regents unanimously approved a resolution allowing ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder to join the Big 12 Conference. Read statements from President Todd Saliman; Chancellor Philip DiStefano and Athletic Director Rick George; and Regent Callie Rennison.
- The U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision on a case that originated in ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at the intersection of free speech, religion and the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. The ruling may create questions or concerns within our community. Read more from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder Chancellor Philip DiStefano.
- The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a plan by the U.S. Department of Education to wipe thousands of dollars in student loan debt from millions of borrowers nationwide. ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder remains committed to reducing the cost of earning a college degree through a number of initiatives.
- The U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision against race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina. In the face of this momentous ruling, ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder remains resolute in its commitment to the advancement of students of all races and backgrounds.
- To meet rising costs of instruction, the 2023-24 proposed ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder budget includes tuition increases for some students.Â
