Dear Elon University Students,
The undersigned faculty and staff stand in solidarity with those of you who have been made to feel vulnerable or unwelcome by the rhetoric of hate surrounding the 2016 election. While as faculty and staff we are here for all students. We recognize that recent events have made some members of historically marginalized groups feel increasingly insecure. To those of you who have felt fear or discrimination because of your identity as immigrants, Latinx, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, non-religious people, otherly-abled people, LGBTQIA, women or sexual assault survivors, we have heard your confusion, fears and concerns. We commit to listening to you and supporting you as educators and leaders within our community. We repudiate hate and acts of violence and bigotry. We affirm that it is in our differences that we find strength. We will work alongside you to strive for justice and acceptance.

The signatures collected represent those faculty and staff at Elon who responded to an invitation to sign this letter between Thursday, Nov. 17 and Monday, Nov. 28.
