As the Commission on Institutional Change continues its work investigating institutional racism and a culture of white supremacy within Unitarian Universalism, it issued a statement on November 12, 2018, emphasizing the difficulties that religious professionals of color face in the denomination. Among other things, it highlighted that the Unitarian Universalist Association has not kept adequate records on the experiences faced by religious professionals of color.
The Commission called upon the UUA to invest in resources to track the career trajectories of religious professionals, especially people of color, and to offer a wide range of support, including a more transparent search process and creation of a Rapid Response Team to intervene when employment disputes occur.
