Diversity of thought, advocacy, and debate are at the heart of GW and what it means to be Revolutionaries. At the same time, every member of our community deserves to feel physically and psychologically safe, valued, and respected. Discrimination, harassment, and any form of oppression have no place at GW.
We affirm our commitment to fostering an environment of inclusivity, respect, and support for all. We extend our support and empathy to all those who continue to be affected by the tragedies in the Middle East and urge the GW community to uplift those who need our care and understanding.
We encourage members of our community to demonstrate compassion and grace and be mindful of how profoundly our words and deeds can affect others on a personal level. As representatives of GW staff, we are here to support you. Please feel free to contact us with your concerns via this google form or at [email protected]. You will not be asked to disclose personal information unless you would like a follow-up or response. We have also listed other resources available to GW staff below.
The Staff Council is listening to the concerns entrusted to us and elevating the concerns to the appropriate university officials.
Sincerely,
GW Staff Council, Executive Officers
