Ohio University is committed to creating a safe and welcoming campus where we work together to engage, support, and advance a living, learning and working environment that fosters values of character, community, citizenship, civility, and commitment. Our collective success depends on the robust exchange of ideas—an exchange that is best when the rich diversity of our perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences flourishes.
To achieve this goal, it is essential that all members of the community feel secure and welcome, that the contributions of all individuals are respected, and that all voices are heard. All members of our community have a responsibility to uphold these values in support of an inclusive campus and commitment to diversity.
OHIO strives to celebrate each person who makes up our University community. We are here to learn from each other, to do the work that narrows divides and broadens understanding. It's about engaging all opinions and including all voices. At times, that means we will have difficult conversations, disagree with our peers, and make hard decisions. Through Make Respect Visible, OHIO is committed to cultivating relationships, communities, and environments to do so productively and respectfully in pursuit of our mission, vision, and values.
