University Statement Asserting Respect for Human Diversity
Miami University is a community dedicated to intellectual
engagement. Our campuses consist of students, faculty,
and staff from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.
By living, working, studying, and teaching, we bring
our unique viewpoints and life experiences together
for the benefit of all. This inclusive learning environment,
based upon an atmosphere of mutual respect and positive
engagement, invites all campus citizens to explore how
they think about knowledge, about themselves, and about
how they see themselves in relation to others. Our intellectual
and social development and daily educational interactions,
whether co-curricular or classroom related, are greatly
enriched by our acceptance of one another as members
of the Miami University community. Through valuing our
own diversity and the diversity of others, we seek to
learn from one another, foster a sense of shared experience,
and commit to making the University the intellectual
home for us all.
We
recognize that we must uphold and abide by University
policies and procedures protecting individual rights
and guiding democratic engagement. Any actions disregarding
these policies and procedures, particularly those resulting
in discrimination, harassment, or bigoted acts, will
be challenged swiftly and collectively.
All
who work, live, study, and teach in the Miami community
must be committed to these principles of mutual respect
and positive engagement, which are integral parts of
Miami’s focus, goals, and mission.
