Decolonize This Institution

CSSW and all entities of Columbia University must take concrete actions to 1) address its own history of violence against BIPOC and 2) support its Black students, faculty, staff, and alumni. To see to these ends, we are collaborating with several departments, students, and groups at Columbia to:

  • Ensure that a historical memory of student organizing efforts at Columbia is created and maintained by creating a shared archive 
  • Keep CSSW and Columbia University accountable for their actions by building a coalition of Black CSSW students, staff, faculty, and alumni 
  • Demand that Columbia takes concrete action towards protecting and uplifting its Black community
