Eau Claire is trying to make it clear that the city doesn’t like racism.
The city council last night unanimously approved a resolution that condemns racism and declares that Eau Claire is a welcoming community. The move comes after a UW-Eau Claire student says she found a racist note on her dorm room door earlier this fall.
The resolution is rather broad as it talks about the history racism, how great UW-Eau Claire has been in being inclusive, and the city’s goal to address its own systemic racism.
