Chemistry | U-M LSA Chemistry

Our department has struggled to process the painful and disturbing events of this past week. We recognize that members of our community, students, faculty, staff, alumni, are hurting in ways that go far beyond just normal work stress. And while we wish that research and science offered a safe haven from the ills of racism, we are painfully reminded that just isn’t always reality. We forcefully reject the ugly sentiment espoused in a recent Angewandte Chemie editorial denigrating modern hiring practices as mistakes that sap the strength of academia. This careless and hurtful language is a further reminder that there is still much work to do, even within the confines of our labs and offices, to expose and to eliminate racism. I am reaching out to all members of our community – past, present, and future – to make it clear who we are and what we want our department to be. We are neither a perfect society nor a perfect department, but that doesn't mean we can't strive to be better. In the coming weeks, we will reevaluate our own department to #dobetter. In no uncertain terms, I want you to know our diversity is our greatest strength, and we are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment. We see you. We hear you. We will do better. Department Chair Robert T. Kennedy
