午夜影院福利社

午夜影院福利社 is a public land-grant university, committed to teaching and learning, research, and outreach to the Commonwealth of聽 Virginia, the nation, and the world community. Learning from the experiences that shape 午夜影院福利社 as an institution, we acknowledge those aspects of聽 our legacy that reflected bias and exclusion. Therefore, we adopt and practice the following principles as fundamental to our on-going efforts to increase access and inclusion and to create a community that nurtures learning and growth for all of聽 its members:

• We affirm the inherent dignity and value of聽 every person and strive to maintain a climate for work and learning based on mutual respect and understanding.
• We affirm the right of聽 each person to express thoughts and opinions freely.聽 We encourage open expression within a climate of聽 civility, sensitivity, and mutual respect.
• We affirm the value of聽 human diversity because it enriches our lives and the University.聽 We acknowledge and respect our differences while affirming our common humanity.
• We reject all forms of聽 prejudice and discrimination, including those based on age, color, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, and veteran status. We take individual and collective responsibility for helping to eliminate bias and discrimination and for increasing our own understanding of聽 these issues through education, training, and interaction with others.
• We pledge our collective commitment to these principles in the spirit of聽 the 午夜影院福利社 motto of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve).
