But our message is this: We are fully committed to fostering an environment that is welcoming and inclusive of everyone. Tonight we are reminded there is much work yet to be done.”
-Rick Fitzgerald, University of Michigan spokesman
"As an academic community, we must value and encourage the expression of ideas, vigorous debate, speech, dissent, and protest.

-James Wagner-Emory University President
