Students and faculty talk on the steps of Beloit College.

Beloit has long been committed to the ideals of equity and inclusion. And when we look at our past and our present, the truth is clear. We need to do more to dismantle racism: in the world, in our part of the country, on our own campus.

There is so much that has been done. And there is so much that we can still do. We are working for serious, lasting institutional change. We are doing the necessary work of becoming better.

Moving Forward

While the work ahead may not be easy or comfortable, it is necessary. With these six goals, we are making a commitment to put our time, energy, and financial resources into the hard work of aspiring to become an anti-racist institution.
