Hate Has No Home Here
Hate is not a value of the UWM community, and students, faculty and staff are coming together to spread this message. Guided by our values and mission, our community welcomes and supports all. UWM Chancellor Mark Mone made this clear in a message to the campus.
“UWM is and will continue to be a campus that welcomes and supports people of all races, religions, genders, countries of origin, sexual orientation and identities, and other statuses that add to the diversity of our community. Just as the city of Milwaukee has done for generations, UWM will remain a campus that opens its arms to people everywhere.” – Mark A. Mone, Chancellor, University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee
