United Academics’ Land Acknowledgement

We live and work on the land of Alaska Native Peoples. As part of our commitment to enkindle racial justice and social equity within the University of Alaska system, we will speak up when we experience examples of racial narratives, racism, or whiteness in our meetings and as we conduct our business. This means we can and will interrupt the meeting to draw the issue to one another’s attention. We will do this kindly, with care, and in good faith. This statement is a reminder that we commit to doing this in the service of ending the system of racial oppression that is perpetuated through institutionalized policies and individual unconscious bias.
