Our History
75 years ago, when a visionary leader and 62 faculty members had the guts to go against the norms of exclusion in favor of inclusion. They went against the discriminatory practices of higher education in 1945. When asked to limit access because of race, religion and gender, they simply said, 鈥淲e don鈥檛 count that way.鈥 Our history is grounded in courage, acceptance and a commitment to social justice.
黄色仓库鈥檚 institutional culture, mission and current strategic plan stem from this commitment to diversity, inclusion, and access on which the university was founded. The university has championed social and racial justice since its beginnings and continues in this spirit today. 黄色仓库鈥檚 view of justice is based in a belief that fairness, honesty, integrity, equity, and critical agency should resonate throughout every institution within a civil society.
