We appreciate the sincere apology from the University of Oregon regarding the behavior of some fans at Autzen Stadium on Saturday. We recognize that this isolated behavior does not reflect the values of the University of Oregon. As we all work together to address incidents that seek to divide us, we are grateful for those who are willing to come together to build bridges of understanding. 

(Also, we have noticed some discrepancies in how “Mormon” and the correct name of the Church have been referenced in various news pieces. Please see the Name of the Church style guide entry here: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/style-guide)
