Chancellor Randy Woodson released a letter addressing the state of diversity and inclusion education on NC State’s campus in light of events that have recently taken place around the country, and both on and off NC State’s campus. 

“For example, a recent off campus party had as a theme BET vs. CMT,” Woodson wrote. “While not sponsored by an NC State affiliated organization, this event did have a number of our students in attendance and serves as another example where our university’s values are not always reflected by our community’s actions”. 

Woodson goes on to say that the Council on Undergraduate Education has been evaluating the diversity component of NC State’s General Education offerings and that he has asked that the voice of the students is considered when determining the best approach to insuring that diversity and inclusion are a meaningful part of the curricula. 

“Without a doubt, NC State is one of the country’s great universities,” Woodson wrote. “Together, we can make our community even stronger and serve our students well as they prepare for a diverse world.”
