Our commitment
The CAMWS Statement Supporting Diversity and Opposing Violence and Discrimination
The Classical Association of the Middle West and South decries all forms of hate, discrimination, racism, bigotry, and xenophobia. We affirm that all people deserve to be treated with equal compassion, dignity, and respect.
Our commitment to the liberal arts impels us to resist violence and hatred, whether perpetrated through word, symbol, or deed: diversity is a resource that strengthens and benefits our entire community. We unequivocally stand with our colleagues, students, families, and friends to support and celebrate all ways to be human.
