The Working Group on the Influence of Slavery on American University was formed in 2018 to investigate the place of slavery in AU’s history, explore its implications, and recommend ways to address that history. We invite the AU community, past and present, to engage deeply with the Group’s findings and recommendations available on this site and to join us for a discussion about our next steps. As a community, we must grapple with our past in order to build a meaningful vision of our future.
