Strengthening Our Community

As part of ongoing initiatives to strengthen its commitment to inclusion, diversity and equity, the college has announced a number of steps it is taking to reduce the likelihood of bias-related incidents. The initiatives, particularly those relating to campus policing, were informed by recommendations of the ACLU, which now hopes to share Smith’s new policies with other campuses.
