LSU Interim President Tom Galligan released a statement yesterday evening addressing the events surrounding the death of George Floyd. 
“As an educator and law professor, I strongly believe that any injustice or violation of the equal protection of law committed by anyone degrades everyone as well as the very foundation of our democracy,” Galligan wrote in a statement published on the University’s official Twitter account. 
Galligan also wrote that the University will always strive to cultivate a diverse, inclusive, compassionate and welcoming campus community that respects the rights and voices of its students, staff, faculty and guests. 
“On behalf of LSU, I want to assure you that your university is unwavering in our commitment to equality and justice,” Galligan wrote.
