Campus Addresses Climate after Presidential Election
Publish Date: Nov. 14, 2016
海角直播 Community,
The election results have evoked, and will undoubtedly continue to evoke, a range of emotions across our diverse student body from shock, confusion, and fear to elation and celebration.
While the last 48 hours may have been joyous for some, we recognize the difficulty that some members of the 海角直播 community are facing as reports of harassment have been reported across the country and even on some college campuses. 海角直播 prides itself on being a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive campus where everyone feels safe.
海角直播 has a non-discrimination policy that protects an individual from discrimination and harassment regardless of their age, color, creed, religion, disability, marital status, veteran status, national origin, immigration status, race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression not because its required by law, but because it鈥檚 the right thing to do. We support and affirm all of our students, especially those whose identities and communities are marginalized. 海角直播 Hills College celebrates diversity, inclusion, and equity, and holds these values at the heart of the college.
Turning directly to those students who feel unsure if they belong or are safe, we see you, we acknowledge you, you belong here, and you are safe here.
If you or someone you knows is in need of some additional support, we encourage you to utilize the resources that are available to you, both on and off campus.

海角直播 also affirms its commitment to rigorous academic debate and inquiry, and never should discrimination and harassment be confused for the former. We call on our students to engage in a civil, respectful conversation with one another and to model for our society what compassion should look like.
