Response to Speaking Event Hosted by the UB Student Chapter of YAF

I write to you regarding the upcoming speaking event hosted by the UB student chapter of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF).

To all those who are disenfranchised, marginalized and persecuted, including our transgender community, please know that we support you, and we will continue to uphold UB’s cherished values of diversity, equity and inclusion to ensure that the university remains a safe and welcoming place for you.
