Demand Resignation of University of Oregon Law Professor

The Issue

On November 1, 2016 the University of Oregon Administration released a statement denouncing the actions of a University of Oregon law professor Nancy Shurtz for donning blackface at a Halloween party held at her home. We stand with the Students, Alumni, Faculty, Staff, and Greater Community Members who have found this Professor's actions offensive and reprehensible, and hereby demand the immediate resignation of Professor Nancy Shurtz.
