• Ensuring all students, faculty, staff, alumni, community members, and visitors feel that they have been treated with respect.
• Teaching all faculty, staff, and students to recognize discrimination and oppression, as well as giving each individual tools to address and prevent it.
• Recognizing and nurturing our different, unique identities.
