Statement on Hate Motivated Behavior

A just community committed to diversity acknowledges the uniqueness of the individual and her/his socio-cultural context, and provides systems and structures to support and promote the full, fair, and respected participation of all members. It holds as paramount the dignity of all people. It strives for acceptance, participation, and interdependence.

Our commitment to a just community committed to diversity is rooted in the recognition that Ohio University comprises individuals with varied social and cultural backgrounds and experiences. Because discrimination, prejudice, and unequal opportunity negatively impact the personal, intellectual, and social development of all individuals, we must work to eliminate these oppressive behaviors and provide opportunities so that individuals can develop to their fullest potential.

Hate-motivated offenses of the Student Code of Conduct are subject to enhanced judicial sanctions
