In light of recent events, we, the History Graduate Student Organization, feel the need to address the issues of harassment on campus. Harassment of any kind is unacceptable. The History Graduate Student Organization reaffirms our commitment to create an inclusive and safe campus for all students at the University of Kansas.

We, in the History Department, are committed to this goal.
