Harmful Language Statement After four months of readings and discussion, we began developing our Harmful Language Statement, which acknowledges the presence of harmful language in descriptions of library resources, explains why that language exists, describes our approach to remediating it, and shares a channel for the USF community to report harmful language and engage with the library. We started with the examples of many other institutions and have gone through many iterations to craft a statement that aligns our descriptive work with similar antiracist work in the library and across the university and describes a scope and foundation for specific department policies. |
