Brown University has updated its nondiscrimination policy to prohibit"caste oppression" in a first for an Ivy League institution.
"Our nondiscrimination policies exist to ensure we’re protecting people and to ensure the University environment is free of hurt and harm. We have a long-standing commitment to this work, and it is engrained into the fabric of who we are," Brown Vice President for Institutional Equity and Diversity Sylvia Carey-Butler said.
"The previous policy would have protected people experiencing caste discrimination. But we felt it was important to lift this up and explicitly express a position on caste equity,” Carey-Butler said.
