É«ÏãÊÓƵ Values - Equality for All

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

É«ÏãÊÓƵ 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.
