UofL chief diversity officer issues statement of support in light of DACA supreme court ruling

Hello Cardinal Family,

In light of today’s Supreme Court ruling on DACA, I would like to reaffirm the University of Louisville’s commitment to being an inclusive and diverse campus community.

Diversity and Inclusion are part of our Cardinal Principles and we care deeply about ensuring everyone in our Cardinal Family feels welcome and included. DACA beneficiaries on our campuses have been exemplary student scholars and leaders and have also excelled by actively contributing to our local communities and economies.

The University of Louisville celebrates the Supreme Court’s decision today on DACA and remains committed to the success of all our students. At the University of Louisville, you belong.
