North Idaho College, as an institution, has not taken any stance on Black Lives Matter (BLM). Further, the college’s Diversity Council has not developed or held any events in support of the movement, nor has it supported BLM through college resources. The Diversity Council does, however, support constitutionally-protected gatherings that bring greater awareness to social issues faced by minority populations in both rural and urban communities. This is the stance noted in the Council’s statement this summer. The Council will continue to serve as an ally, advocate, and resource for all students and for the community.
