JACKSON, Miss. -- Millsaps' Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has launched a campaign entitled "Stand Up-Don't Say" for the purpose of educating the campus community and the public regarding inappropriate language directed toward various constituent groups both in and out of the realm of sport.
Millsaps Student Athletes are featured on posters and social media graphics that will be posted on social media accounts and campus. Each of these posters feature one of SAAC's athletes posing next to the word or phrase that is offensive and demeaning to a variety of identities and provide a clear, concise explanation as to why this type of language should not be accepted.
This is a part of the SAAC's efforts to support multicultural awareness throughout Millsaps' diverse community. The campaign is modeled after a popular initiative originated by student-athletes at Duke University.
The entirety of posters and graphics that feature the athletes can be found
here on the gomajors.com page underneath the Student Athletes SAAC tab.
More examples are featured below.
