Recent events have again brought forth the issues we still face regarding racism and intolerance. At Wiley University Services, we stand together in our active, vocal support of our values and will not tolerate racism or discrimination of any form. We are also taking action to reaffirm DE&I as a priority and promise that we uphold in our organization.
We are committed to creating clear pathways for all colleagues, especially colleagues of color and colleagues from other marginalized communities. To go further, we are engaging in conversations that foster a safe and inclusive work environment and help shape the future of our organization.
And while it is critical to start from within, we will continue to evaluate ways in which we, as an organization, can support social justice and affect change in our communities. As a part of this, Wiley is supporting several organizations that align closely with this mission: Black Lives Matter, The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Amnesty International, Minds Matter and Teaching for Change. We are also encouraging our U.S. employees to use our matching program when donating to organizations.
We will continue to uphold our core values, empowering each colleague to be a Learning Champion, Needle Mover, and Courageous Teammate. To live these values, we:
- Collaborate to meet our goals as a community
- Take ownership to ensure accountability
- Value differences and understand one another
- Step up to address difficult issues openly and honestly
We recognize that education is a powerful tool for social change. We believe that the higher education community plays an important role in the battle against racism and social injustice. For this reason, we are sharing a number of resources that address these topics. By educating ourselves and each other, we can work together to shape a better, more diverse future.
