Student Affairs Civility Statement

In the Division of Student Affairs at Kennesaw State University, we care deeply about the welfare of students on campus and about how students, faculty, and staff members treat each other. The KSU community should be one where all people feel safe from threats of violence, anger, or oppression.

We believe our community should be a diverse one where people of all cultures, colors, faiths, beliefs, orientations, and abilities are treated with respect and dignity.

We understand that differences of opinion do occur, and that such differences are healthy, but how such differences of opinion are expressed is important.

The challenge before us in the Division of Student Affairs is to work together to help create a more civil community at Kennesaw State University.

Our committed goal, therefore, is to work together to formulate a plan of action that will help Kennesaw State University become a place where civil behavior is routinely practiced and is an integral part of our culture.

We expect the practice of civility as a routine part of our lives in this community of higher learning.
