Confronting Bias
Read about how we are establishing an infrastructure to support, cultivate, and foster greater diversity and inclusion, as well as how to report a bias incident to the university.
The Hub for Organizing, Multiculturalism and Equity (HOME) is intended to give everyone in the AU community a place on campus where they can be themselves and find acceptance. At the official opening, SG President Yamillet Payano said, "HOME is open to everyone. That way we can come together and socialize to learn and grow among those in our community here at American University." Students have been using the space regularly since it opened. The multicultural space can be accessed with an AU ID upon request.
