The CSU Student Success Network’s Post

Building from a first term riddled with policies that violated human rights, the incoming Trump administration has proposed a dangerous path for the future. Some of the policies championed by President Trump and his surrogates during the campaign could also give new purchase to white supremacy in America– a fact that is especially disturbing given the coincidence of this inauguration and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Human rights always apply to everyone, everywhere. They are not to be invoked or ignored depending on whether they further political interests. Many human rights protections are built into US law, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. International human rights law also binds the United States in the same way it does every other country. We join Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International USA, The Legal Defense Fund, Detention Watch Network, Human Rights First, National Immigration Law Center, and Southern Poverty Law Center in calling on the US government to ensure that all human and civil rights are respected and fully realized.

Today, we reflect on the powerful legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose vision for a world rooted in justice, equality, and liberty continues to inspire us all. His unwavering commitment to nonviolence and his relentless pursuit of civil rights paved the way for progress, but the work is far from over. As we commemorate his life and teachings, it’s essential to recognize that the fight for justice and equality is ongoing. Dr. King dreamed of a society where all people, regardless of race, background, or circumstance, are treated with dignity and respect. Today, we carry that vision forward at the University of Miami Herbert Business School through programs that uplift our underrepresented student populations; UMiami Black in Business, The Latina Project - Miami Herbert Business School, HBCU-Start. It’s about creating environments where the playing field is level, opportunities are available, and diverse voices are not just heard but given the tools to become actively integrated into decision making processes wherever our students go. Whether through policies, programs, or simply through everyday actions, we must continue to challenge systemic inequalities and build a world where freedom is not just a privilege for some but a right for all. So on this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let’s honor his legacy by continuing the good fight by committing to make our workplaces, communities, and the world more just, equitable, and inclusive for everyone.

The observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is to reflect on King's fight for equality and freedom for all, and to honor his legacy by giving back. We are holding MLK Day of Service events focused on local communities’ food security, environment, health, and transformation. Read more in the Career Blog!
