We Stand With Penn Students Of Color

As of early this morning, after a challenging week for many communities both within and outside of Penn, posts on social media have brought to light vile acts of racism and hate committed at the expense of Penn students of color. Although the situation is still being investigated, Under the Button publicly stands with any students that were targeted and impacted by these events. Our hope is that the Penn administration competently handles these occurrences such that those responsible are held accountable and that, in the event that any Penn students are found guilty, they are adequately punished and expelled from our university.

We would like to reiterate that there are a number of campus resources dedicated to your safety and support, and if you feel there are any ways in which this blog can further assist you, please reach out to tips@underthebutton.com.
