 HR Commitment to Dignity and Respect

The Office of Human Resources is committed to fostering and supporting a learning and working environment in which the rights and dignity of all members of the community are respected. All members our community are expected to treat each other with respect, courtesy and consideration. Each person has the right to expect professional behavior from others and has a corresponding responsibility to behave professionally towards others.

Embracing diversity means that we must intentionally practice acceptance and respect towards one another and understand that discrimination and prejudices create and sustain privileges for some while creating and sustaining disadvantages for others. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion requires that we strive to eliminate those barriers to equity and that we act deliberately to create a safe and positive environment where individual and group differences are valued and leveraged for our collective growth and understanding.
