![What does this mean for protest in the fall? I begin with a bright red line drawn from Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: No member of our university community will “be excluded from participation in [our programs], denied the benefits of [campus activities], or be subject to discrimination… based on race, color, or national origin.” In the years that followed the passage of that landmark legislation, religion, gender, age, and disability were added as protected groups. Step back in time for a moment and consider how transformative this is. Consider how completely in alignment these values are with our university’s founding mission, with the University in Exile, and our ongoing dedication to the safety of scholars around the world. Remember that in February of 1964 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was speaking in our auditorium on 12th Street. In his exchange with the audience following his talk, he addressed the profound importance of protecting the full integrity of the Civil Right](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nv5hoopxwvjk76flssftvedy/bafkreiawkdk3eeolozaq7i3noiq4fbgxnm3227tfnqva63kl6cqmwvrfgq)
