LEAP is angered and deeply hurt by the racist and insensitive comments from Purdue University's Chancellor during their recent commencement ceremonies. LEAP strongly supports Purdue University Northwest students and faculty in their call for his dismissal or resignation. For Purdue University Northwest’s Asian and Asian American students, families, faculty, staff, administrators and the broader Asian American community, his ridicule, and the board of trustee’s tolerance of his apology became yet another unwelcome reminder that despicable and bigoted actions against Asians and Asian Americans are still acceptable, even normal.
