- General Information
- Oregon State has not yet implemented a university-wide program for anti-racist training or education. However, it has taken steps to embed diversity in its hiring practices. The university recently hired a therapist exclusively for its students of color, due to "white supremacy cultural norms". It is also considering changes to its curriculum. See developments below:
