UNLV Creates Anti-Racism Task Force

UNLV has formed the anti-black racism task force to look at making some changes on campus. 

UNLV president, Marta Meana and provost, Chris Heavey sent an email this morning to students and faculty about the formation of UNLV's anti-black racism task force. 

In the email, the university said, “As a campus that prides itself on the diversity of our population, UNLV must be at the forefront of efforts to increase access and opportunity for individuals of color and others traditionally underrepresented in higher education.”

The task force currently consists of 12 members, all a part of UNLV's staff. They are looking to implement actions that involve reform intuitiveness with university police, minority employment and resources for African Americans
