We will apply an anti-bias and anti-racist lens to examine our practices for employees and students.

We seek to uplift and amplify the voices of those impacted by systemic oppression, colonization, personal or historic circumstances, and those with traditionally marginalized identities.

We acknowledge how privilege and power structures impact our learning community.

Our community supports efforts to be more diverse, open, and inclusive while standing against injustice and intolerance in the form of prejudice, racism, homophobia, discrimination, and marginalization.

We commit to continually develop our understanding of how implicit and explicit biases can impact learning for both educators and students.
