FAUW Statement on the Violent Campus Attack on 28 June 2023

FAUW is appalled at what appears to be an act of extremist violence in one of our classrooms last Wednesday afternoon.

Associate Professor of Philosophy, Associate Chair (Undergraduate Studies), and FAUW Parliamentarian, Dr. Katy Fulfer, was attacked in the middle of a class she was teaching. Two students were also attacked. We extend our deepest sympathy to all three and wish them a speedy recovery.

My purpose in writing to FAUW members this morning is to add FAUW’s voice to the outcry against this heinous attack and also to offer the Association’s support and sympathy to those affected, beginning with Katy herself, her students, and the rest of the campus community.

Anyone wishing to sign a card and convey a message of support to Katy is invited to come to the FAUW offices on Monday or Tuesday next week, 10:00 – 15:00 in MC 4002.

A message setting out a list of questions and demands that FAUW will bring to the senior administration will follow early next week.

Again, let me extend our deepest sympathies to the victims of last week’s hateful attack.

David Porreca
FAUW President
