Franklin & Marshall Athletics Inclusion

Student-Athlete Inclusion Statement

The Athletic Leadership Council and Student-Athlete Advisory Committee represents all student athletes at Franklin & Marshall College as we stand together in promoting awareness, respect, and accountability regarding all forms of discrimination. We, as student-athletes, aim to provide a safe and accepting environment throughout our community encompassing all races, ethnicities, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, socioeconomic statuses, and political ideologies. Together, we will take a proactive approach to examining different perspectives, thoughts, and views while positively contributing to the important conversations necessary to sustaining and enhancing our vibrant community.

F&M College - Statement of Institutional Commitment

Franklin & Marshall vigorously asserts its commitment to eliminating racism and all forms of discrimination and to building an anti-racist culture on our campus. We will nurture the momentum that gained strength with student voices in protest on our campus in fall 2019. We acknowledge that our students and alumni have not enjoyed the freedom from racism and discrimination, on our campus or in our world, that they unreservedly deserve. We declare, unequivocally, that Black Lives Matter. Our hearts are with all those in our nation and in our extended F&M community who have suffered and continue to suffer; with those who feel frustration, pain, and fear; and with those who are living in the hope that human beings can band together to create a better world for all.

As members of the Franklin & Marshall community, we all share deep and mutual responsibility for our engagement, actions, and accountability. Together, we will continue to do the work to make F&M a truly welcoming and inclusive campus for all, and we will settle for no less.
