UNR President Marc Johnson released a statement after one of the white supremacist marchers was identified as a University of Nevada student. Johnson says , “Racism and white supremacist movements have a corrosive effect on our society. These movements do not represent our values as a university. We denounce any movement that targets individuals due to the color of their skin, their religious beliefs, political beliefs, sexual orientation, ability/disability, or whether they were born in our country. Johnson adds, “Our learning environment respects the right to freely express views and debate openly in civil discourse. There will be clashes of beliefs and opinions, but they must be peaceful. As a community, we abhor violence and it has no place on our campus.” Johnson did not mention the name of the UNR student caught up in the demonstrations, whose picture has become viral on social media, who reportedly has a job on campus.
