By Joseph Lyell —
Vice provost for diversity and international affairs Mordean Taylor-Archer responded to complaints about an Oct. 31 email to all students, saying it was not intended to be a political message.
The email, sent out a week before midterm elections, listed three highly politicized issues.
“We must speak against policies that seek to repress, exclude and deny the rights of others,” she wrote.
“This would include the proposed policy that would define gender at birth, acts that separate immigrant children from their parents and the deployment of military to stop immigrants who traveled thousands of miles to seek freedom and opportunities from entering this country.
