Dear University of Portland Community Members, Like so many around the nation, we are deeply disturbed and disheartened by the recent rise in violence and discrimination targeting the Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities. Xenophobia is an affront to our shared belief that all persons are children of God who possess inherent dignity. As a Catholic, Holy Cross institution, we condemn violence and discrimination, we pray for those victimized by hatred and intolerance, and we commit ourselves to building a more just and equitable world.
