That's a great perspective. I replied to Sim that those who sign, "should have some strong insights and/or experiences in higher ed," but your argument sounds more reasonable and inclusive.

Hi Sim,
I can't speak for Grady, but as an academic, I'd suggest that you should sign. Students who graduate from STEM programs with a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D all go out into the workforce. So the teaching institutions, private industries, NGOs, governmental organizations, and other employers with vested interests in hiring talent should all support the training of a diverse workforce.
Thanks for asking the question. Just my two cents.
Take good care, Rachel

Hi Grady,
I'd love to sign, but have two questions.
The statement deals with systemic racism in academia and seems (to me)
to be geared toward signatories who are in academia themselves. Is it
appropriate for those like me who are outside of academia to be signatories?
Can I freely distribute this to my own network?
Sim
