Pledge

University of Maine at Presque Isle’s Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We, the faculty, staff, and students of the University of Maine at Presque Isle, do hereby declare our support, acceptance, and respect for our diverse campus community–all individuals, backgrounds, cultures, beliefs and perspectives.

As such, I pledge to:

Support all members of our community. When I see discrimination, intolerance or hatred, I will stand up and speak out.

Encourage civil discourse. While I may not agree with you, I will share my opinions and differences in a considerate and respectful manner.

Educate myself. As a college campus is a place of academic and personal diversity, I will strive to better understand those around me.

Make our campus a safe place. Whether it be fostering an outlet for expression or providing resources that can help others, I will ensure members of my community feel safe.

In following this pledge, I agree to help ensure that everyone feels safe and welcome at the University of Maine at Presque Isle.
