Why This Matters
In order to achieve our university's mission of inclusive excellence, our team works to ensure a supportive and equitable learning environment for our entire Vandal family. We strive to adhere to our Vandal principles that:
- Welcome and respect all people;
- Support the free and open exchange of ideas and civil discourse;
- Believe in the unfettered pursuit of knowledge;
- Provide the tools and practice to think critically;
- Affirm democracy and our basic commitment to its fundamental principles;
- Encourage civility in the resolution of conflict, support peaceful demonstration and condemn violence as a means of expressing beliefs; and
- Nurture an environment for all Vandals to succeed.
