Dear Students,

In recognition of the unique political moment we find ourselves in, we, the undersigned SAIC faculty, write to affirm our commitment to you, our students and partners in the creative arts, and to the entire SAIC community, including all staff, administrators, and alumni. In signing, we pledge the following:

To reaffirm our core value of making and meaning in times of both stability and imbalance. As artists, designers, scholars, and writers, our job is to explore the complexities of our world and reimagine them creatively, critically, and collectively.

To work together as a community. We are stimulated by each other’s collaborations, considered perspectives, and impassioned opinions. We grow by listening to ideas that are different from our own and recognize the vital role that design, scholarship, art, and writing play in addressing our collective challenges.

To protect and defend the values and rights that allow you, as emerging artists, to think and make. We stand united in opposition to attempts by any entity to restrict or suppress the free and uncensored flow of ideas. We commit to engage and support community members targeted for their ideas or work. SAIC champions and welcomes the difficult conversations that this type of work provokes.

To stand in solidarity with our diverse community, visibly, strategically, and actively. Diversity is in a constant state of redefinition, especially today. The faculty believes in the richness of difference. This includes immigration status, race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, military or former military status, socioeconomic status, political view, as well as new identities as they emerge. An active commitment to the diversity of ideas and the living organism of the planet is what makes SAIC stronger and smarter.

To recognize the privilege and responsibility of being a writer, designer, scholar, and artist. Our skills can provide perspective, leadership, and strategies for shaping today’s world.

We are here with you. We are here for you.

In solidarity,

Claire Ashley
