In a neoliberal era with heightened racial tension\, universities must \;ex amine the ways that they not only include communities of color\, \;but fundamentally reshape their organizations to support the holistic \;l earning and development of that growing racial campus diversity. \;In the wake of material instances of white supremacy\, it is no longer
\na cceptable to provide statements of support\, minor policy changes\, \; or conduct another campus climate survey. The evidence is clear\; U.S.&nbs p\;colleges and universities are built upon historical roots of racism and  \;white supremacist normativity and they need to be changed. Through& nbsp\;the exploration of three frameworks\, Dr. Dian Squire will help stud ents\, \;faculty\, and staff work toward racial justice. Attendees wil l leave with \;a “toolbox” to (re)frame the way that they examine 1) c urrent institutional \;organizations as shaped by their white supremac ist histories\, 2) \;international graduate admissions infused with ne oracist and neoliberal \;action\, and 3) student\, faculty\, and staff of color campus activism solidarity \;as dissolved by white supremaci st racial wedge. By exploring the \;formation of universities and prov iding two contemporary manifestations
\nof whitenessy\, one can more ea sily name and deconstruct oppressive \;systems in order to reconstruct just and liberatory opportunities. \;
