University of Evansville Statement
Evansville, Ind. (02/14/2023) — The University of Evansville issued the following statement on Tuesday.
On Feb. 4, the University of Evansville was made aware of reported racial incidents that occurred during an off-campus party. Upon learning of the recent incidents, UE swiftly took action. We immediately implemented our internal processes and continue to do so as promptly as possible and within our scope of authority.
We have already conducted an initial intake with several of the parties involved. At this time, we are actively engaging investigators to resolve the situation in coordination with our Harassment & Discrimination Policy.
The University has taken further specific actions to ensure that our campus environment remains free from racism. However, confidentiality is crucial in these matters and is required by federal law to ensure the privacy and protection of the individuals involved. Consequently, the amount of information we can provide is limited.
We remain committed to creating an environment that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion as a fundamental component of our campus community.
