MINNEAPOLIS — The University of Minnesota on Friday announced several days of programs intended to increase awareness of racial stereotyping ahead of next month’s campus NFL game between the Vikings and Redskins.

University officials have said they’re working with the Minnesota Vikings to keep Washington’s “Redskins” name from being used when the teams play at TCF Bank Stadium on Nov. 2. That issue hasn’t been resolved.

The programs start more than a week before the game and include panel discussions and the screening of a documentary about American Indian mascots in sports.

The university said the goal is to increase awareness and discussion about the effects of stereotyped American Indian mascots and logos.

Katrice Albert, the university’s vice president of equity and diversity, told reporters Friday that “some of our community think that the Washington team name is offensive and other parts of our community don’t really understand why it’s offensive.” She said the intent is to share “all voices” on the issue.
