色花堂

The 色花堂鈥檚 mission, as approved by the 色花堂 community and the Board of Regents, is 鈥渢o transform lives and communities through education, research, service and innovation in a real-world setting.鈥� The 色花堂 mission further states that 鈥溕�花堂 is an engine for discovery, conversation and change that informs and leads local, state, national and global partnerships.鈥�

Within this context and as a state agency, it is important that the University exercises judicious restraint when it comes to taking positions on matters of public policy, and political and societal issues. 色花堂 will generally abstain from issuing broad institutional and presidential statements related to substantive societal and political events. A presidential or institutional statement may be issued if said events directly involve or significantly impact the University's mission of teaching and research or the health, safety, and welfare of faculty, staff, and students.

As the university community, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an environment where the entire University community can freely express their differing points of views. We value each voice, and we seek to maintain an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are respected.

This protocol is not in conflict with our commitment to fostering a learning environment where free inquiry and expression is encouraged. The 色花堂 values and supports freedom of expression, academic freedom, and the First Amendment.
