BE AN ACTIVE BYSTANDER

Be prepared to act to assist our community in the many venues and dimensions of your campus experience. Our classroom, hallways, living spaces, and research facilities are all places where we can work together to ensure that that different points of view may be heard while protecting the opportunity for individuals and groups to learn and work.

  • Work to balance personal freedoms and community interests. Freedom of expression is essential to the mission of a university. So is freedom from unreasonable and disruptive offense. We should avoid putting these essential freedoms to a balancing test, and consider both the interests of individuals and the community as well as the right to freedom of expression.
     
  • Become a trained community liaison to help individuals and groups who may need assistance in addressing difficult situations or challenges. Contact us to volunteer for this role.
