During #ScholarStrike, I have replaced my webpage by 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.


(Links to several resources on racial justice in mathematics can be found in Samuel Hansen's Resources for Anti-Racism and Social Justice in the Mathematical Sciences, posted around the time of the #ShutDownSTEM day, and the American Mathematical Society's inclusion/exclusion blog.)
