From my professional national network HECA-Higher Education Consultants Association - I am a proud and grateful member:

In keeping with HECA’s mission statement to “promote equity and access to higher education for all students”, HECA condemns the growing incidence of violence and discrimination against Asian American students, as well as students from Asian countries, occurring in US schools and postsecondary institutions.
