In these times of unrest in Iran, DePaul supports the brave and courageous fight for human rights taking place in a country that many of our community members call home. In the Vincentian spirit in which DePaul is grounded, we stand by the victims of injustice and violence. We stand against the perpetrators of violence and systemic injustice that inhibit the expression of individual freedom and extinguish lives.
We understand that this unrest may affect many individuals in different ways and would like to remind you support services are available to members of our DePaul community. We provided more information about these services below.
We continue to pray for peace, justice, and freedom for the oppressed in Iran and all nations around the world.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Manuel
