The Academic Senate has approved an Anti-Bullying Statement of Values. The ad-hoc Anti-Bullying Committeen of the Academic Senate issued a series of recommendations to support a welcoming campus climate and culture. One of these recommendations is that the university set up a website. For now, the Anti-Bullying Statement of Values can be found on the Anti-Bullying Statement page set up by the Provost’s Office.
