Facilitate Improved Safety, Inclusion & Success
The recent rise in anti-Asian hate crimes shines a spotlight on the need for increased support and protection for Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) students. Between January 1 and February 28, 2021, Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans have reported being harassed at least 500 times according to Stop AAPI Hate. These numbers are outpacing complaints in 2020 where over 3,200 complaints were filed in all 50 states and in Washington, D.C.
