Pasadena City College will be among 78 colleges and universities across the U.S. participating in the The Association of American Colleges and Universities’ 2021 Institute on Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Campus Centers, the organization announced Tuesday.
The Institute, to be held online from June 22 to June 25, will be hosted by 14 of the participating schools, the AAC&U said in a written statement. It will discuss, among other issues, setting up Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Campus Centers at the various campuses.
“AAC&U is thrilled to partner with colleges and universities of all types and sizes across the country to advance the TRHT effort within higher education,” organization President Lynn Pasquerella said. “We look forward to the opportunity to learn with and from the participants in the 2021 Institute and to support their efforts to promote racial equity and healing on their campuses and in their communities.”
The symposium invites students to “pursue the shared goal of preparing the next generation of leaders and thinkers to break down racial hierarchies and to dismantle the belief in a hierarchy of human value,” according to the statement.
The curriculum centers around “developing and refining transformative action plans to advance the five components of the TRHT framework,” the statement said. The components are: narrative change, racial healing and relationship building, separation, law and economy.
