Ensuring Safety, Well-Being, Equal Opportunity, and Nondiscrimination
- Treating all faculty, staff, and students as individuals, holding them to equal standards in every position, policy, program, and activity.

Investigating and Resolving Complaints
- Conducting prompt, fair, and impartial investigations into reports of violations, and implementing remedies to prevent recurrence, hold accountable those found responsible, and address impacts on affected individuals and the broader community.
Educating, Collaborating with, and Empowering the Community
- Partnering with campus stakeholders, including student organizations, athletics, residence life, and law enforcement to deliver comprehensive training, workshops, and resources on consent, bystander intervention, anti-hazing strategies, and civil rights protections.
