Dear Student and Community Leaders,
Over the weekend, the University became aware of a group on Facebook identifying itself as the White Student Union at UC Berkeley. The page is clearly intended to fuel conflict and provocation rather than to foster a serious and constructive dialogue among students about issues of race. This does not reflect the values of our campus community. We thank all of the students and community members who reached out to us and shared their voices in solidarity.
Upon review, it seems that this is the work of an outside group. More than 30 of such pages have been created around the country in the last week - which indicates that this page is a part of a national effort, and did not emanate from our campus. This is not a recognized organization on the UC Berkeley campus. We have alerted Facebook about the unauthorized and impermissible use of the University’s trademark and informed them that such sites violate their own terms of service, and hope it will soon be removed or disabled.
