Today is the start of UW’s Winter Quarter, and #UWAllen is excited to welcome our students back. Without the benefit of a long break given our quarter system, instructors spent the holiday weekend preparing for the challenge of conducting the 1st week remotely due to omicron. 1/5
Meanwhile, former faculty member Pedro Domingos unfortunately used the holiday weekend to yet again tweet meritless, sexist, inflammatory, attention-seeking commentary that reflects poorly on him and everyone associated with him. We, once again, repudiate his views. 2/5
We cannot limit what emeritus faculty members say via private accounts on private platforms, no matter how repulsive, not to mention unsupported by fact. 3/5
We are, with very rare exception, proud of the passion our community members bring to improving diversity, equity, inclusion, and access. We continue to build infrastructure, policies and programs to support DEIA in our school and our field. 4/5
Please judge us by the results of that ongoing work and amplify those who have been working tirelessly toward a more just future. To learn more about our efforts, see cs.washington.edu/diversity. 5/5
