Dr. Charles Murray has been classified as a “White Nationalist” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that monitors hate groups and other extremists throughout the United States. Murray’s most published works make arguments based on racial eugenics that economically successful people can attribute their success to a high IQ, and African Americans do not enjoy the genetic endowment that would suit them to college-level study or economic prosperity. Murray’s unwelcomed and discriminatory words, whether intentional or a product of the disregard for the safety, rights, or welfare of others, which intimidate, degrade, demean, threaten, bully, haze or otherwise interfere with another person’s daily activity are prohibited from our University and we seek the administration to enforce that prohibition.

The conflicting nature of his hateful rhetoric does not represent the views and opinions of the students, and as a means to prevent polarization and violence we support the retraction of Murray’s invitation to the University of Miami School of Law.
