Statement on U.S. Capitol Attack
Jan 8, 2021As leaders of Bellevue College, we would like to lend our names in support of the following statement issued by the SBCTC, Council of Presidents and Independent Colleges of Washington.
“As leaders of public and private, not-for-profit colleges and universities in the state of Washington, we stand strongly together in denouncing the yesterday’s attack on the U.S. Capitol and on democracy. Since the earliest days of this nation, higher education has prepared an engaged, informed and civic-minded citizenry. In this way, our shared mission is fundamental to democracy and is in sharp contrast to the shocking scenes that unfolded in Washington, DC. Collectively, we redouble our commitment to preparing our students and future generations to help ensure that our democracy continues to thrive.”
