Erase Hate

Erase Hate challenges the FAU community to learn about, embrace, and celebrate what happens when people of different backgrounds come together, exchange ideas, and push back against societal assumptions and expectations.  We believe a diverse and questioning community encourages inclusion, broadens horizons, and enriches everyone it touches. Erase Hate promotes a community of respect for all. 

Through this initiative, the FAU Libraries identified four major areas in which the library should focus diversity efforts in order to be successful.
