California Officials Condemn Racist Acts on Campuses: SAN FRANCISCO – University of California officials on Wednesday condemned recent incidents of racism and intolerance on campus and promised to promote greater diversity and inclusion.At a meeting of the UC Board of Regents, administrators and board members apologized to students for the acts that have raised racial tensions and sparked heated debate about race and diversity within the 10-campus system.
The incidents include a picture of a noose found at UC Santa Cruz, swastikas spray-painted at UC Davis and an off-campus 'Compton Cookout' party that mocked Black History Month at UC San Diego.
“All the regents regret that any member of the UC community had to endure such disgusting acts of bigotry,” said Russell Gould, who chairs the board. “They are a disgrace to the values of this institution.”
