THE OFFICE OF HOUSING AND RESIDENCE LIFE CELEBRATES A COMMUNITY OF BELONGING:

The community within Housing and Residence Life includes differences related to race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, and ability. We believe that any attempt to oppress any individual or group is a threat to everyone in the community. We are guided by the principle that celebrating each individual enriches and empowers the lives of all people.

Therefore, everyone who chooses to live in and visit our residential communities must understand that we will not tolerate any form of bigotry, harassment, intimidation, threat, or abuse, whethar verbal or written, physical or psychological direct or implied.

Our residential communities are rich, alive, and dynamic environments that are designed to enable all individuals to develop and grow to their full potential. Only by understanding and celebrating each individual can we create an environment where innovation, individuality, and creativity are maintained.
