Bossier Parish Community College is aware of social media posts regarding an incident that reportedly occurred off campus during a recent community event.
We understand that the images and commentary have been deeply concerning to many in our community. BPCC stands firmly against racism, discrimination, and behavior that demeans or harms others. Such actions are inconsistent with our mission and with the values of respect, dignity, and inclusion that guide our work.
At the same time, our responsibility as an institution of higher education is to respond thoughtfully and fairly. We are working to gather accurate information and to determine whether the matter falls within the scope of College policies. In accordance with federal privacy laws, including FERPA, we cannot confirm the identity or status of any individual, nor can we comment on specific details of any potential review.
When concerns arise involving members of the BPCC community, we address them through established processes that ensure fairness, accountability, and due process. We remain committed to fostering a campus environment where all students and employees feel safe, valued, and respected.
We encourage members of our community to engage with one another in ways that reflect those shared values, even during moments of disagreement or tension.
