Letter from President Roselle

     To the University of Delaware community:
     Many persons of good will are working diligently on our campus to
nurture a living and learning environment that is supportive of a diverse
community and to break down the barriers that separate people. The
University of Delaware strives to be a place where differences are
celebrated, not feared.
     Divisive groups whose credo is meanness to others and those who
promote intolerance and hatred can damage our sense of community, and that
is their intent. I would urge each of you to join the University's
commitment to making our campus and our society a place where differences
are a source of education and enlightenment.
     On Saturday, Feb. 27, individuals from throughout the area are
gathering together for a rally in support of diversity, as a response to
the planned march of the Ku Klux Klan down Main Street in Newark.
     We appreciate everyone's efforts to help us reach the goals we have
set for the University of Delaware. We believe that the Rally for
Diversity, Community and Harmony represents further evidence of our
community's commitment to these goals.
                                                  Sincerely,
                                                  David P. Roselle
                                                  President
