The Joint Union Council, a coalition of faculty and staff unions at Central Michigan University, stand firmly against all forms of racism and discrimination.

We are committed to creating a welcoming, secure, and supportive environment for all students, faculty, and staff. We pledge to support initiatives and policies that promote mutual respect and understanding in partnership with the entire Central Michigan University community, including our President and the Board of Trustees.

We believe that through collective efforts, we can cultivate a university community that values, respects, and protects the dignity of every individual.
