º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Values - Equality for All

In response to national and global statements of intolerance and bigotry and acts of violence, the º£½ÇÂÒÂ× community has come together to reaffirm its values of diversity, inclusion and equity for all. Initiated by a group of caring and committed º£½ÇÂÒÂ× faculty, the community crafted a statement recommitting ourselves to these values. President Clark and the º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Board of Trustees unanimously adopted as an official statement of the university the following:

º£½ÇÂÒÂ× reaffirms the values of our community as a welcoming, compassionate, and intellectually rigorous learning, working and living environment. We reject all forms of bias, discrimination, xenophobia and violence. We re-commit ourselves to actions that put into practice our individual and institutional values of diversity, inclusion and equity.
