KU’s Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging grieves the racially motivated and admitted act of white supremacy that occurred in Buffalo this Saturday.
Greetings! The Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging has several upcoming events we would like to share with you. Our team has been working with collaborators across campus and in the community to bring you some stellar opportunities to learn and grow on a variety of topics.
On Friday, June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade and with it the outcomes of 50-years of civil rights and gender equity struggles in the United States. Reproductive rights will now be determined by the states, and several states have already made severe restrictions in health services, while other states continue to provide abortion access. Pending the outcome of the referendum on the constitutional amendment on August 2, abortion is legal in the state of Kansas.
