We are deeply disturbed by the censorship of student work at the the University of Arkansas and stand in solidarity with graduate student M'Shinda Abdullah-Broaddus. Censorship of works of art is deeply troubling in an academic institution, especially when that censorship focuses on non-white LGBTQIA2S+ students.

Students are entitled to explore the full range of complexities of ideas and issues in our program, and as emergent artists are entitled to have their voices respected and heard in the spaces in which art inhabits.
