Statement from the Emerson College Board of Trustees
At a time when freedom of speech and higher education itself are besieged by outside forces, the Emerson College Board of Trustees encourages our community to come together.
At a time when freedom of speech and higher education itself are besieged by outside forces, the Emerson College Board of Trustees encourages our community to come together.
The College is offering a number of resources to provide support during this time of crisis.
To ensure campus safety following the events of April 25th, Boylston Place Alley will be added to the list of areas on campus where demonstrations are prohibited, effective immediately and through the weekend.
Emerson respects the civic activism and passion that sparked the protest in Boylston Place Alley, while also communicating concerns related to ordinance violations caused by the encampment. We also understand that clearing the encampment has significantly and adversely impacted our community.
Intercultural Student Affairs will host walk-in emergency counselors (no appointment needed), a lost & found, and light refreshments
Emerson once again is included in Variety’s annual North America top film school list, highlighting courses of study, the Emerson Los Angeles intern program, and the directing studio in the Paramount Center on the Boston campus.
We support our community’s right to express their views through protest. However, they must do so in a manner consistent with the laws of the City of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The College strongly supports the right to express one’s beliefs through protest. This right comes with the responsibility of doing so without bigotry or hatred in any form.
It is with gratitude and appreciation — and more than a little bit of sadness — that I announce that Diane Paxton, Director of Student Accessibility Services, will be leaving Emerson to begin a well-deserved third act
The last few weeks have provided a chance for many of us to communicate face-to-face and listen to each other about the concerns of our community.
