During #ScholarStrike (September 8th and 9th, 2020), I replaced my webpage
with this page, containing a few resources
outlining some of the ways in which, stated commitments notwithstanding,
the University of Chicago continues its long history of complicity with
and direct involvement in racist practices, and though its actions and
inactions, stands in tacit opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement.
I am a member of the Just
Mathematics Collective.

"In our view, dissent and protest are integral to the life of the
University. Dissent and protest should be affirmatively welcomed, not
merely tolerated, by the University. Especially in a university community,
the absence of dissent and protest---not its presence---is a cause for
concern. The passionate expression of non-conforming ideas is both a
cause and an effect of the intellectual climate that defines this
University in particular. In addition, dissent and protest---and public
demonstrations by groups and individuals---play a role in the University’s
educational mission: being a member of an educational community that
values dissent and protest is, in part, how people develop as citizens of
a democracy." --- From the Report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Protest and
Dissent, established by the Provost of the University of Chicago in 2013
