Section 203 - Diversity Statement and Code of Behavior Policy

The campus community consists of students, faculty, staff and administrators. It is our belief that all community members have a responsibility, individually and collectively, to create a positive living environment that is respectful, supportive and inclusive of all people. All community members must share in the commitment to provide equal opportunity for all individuals regardless of, and including but not limited to age, race, national origin, mental or physical ability, physical appearance, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, religious affiliation, and economic or perceived social status.

North Dakota State College of Science is committed to:
• Providing a respectful and supportive environment that allows students and staff the opportunity to ask questions and express their concerns.
• Respecting people from various ethic cultures and socio-economic backgrounds regardless of, and including but not limited to age, race, national origin, mental or physical ability, physical appearance, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, religious affiliation, and economic or perceived social status.
• Developing teaching and learning opportunities necessary to promote cultural appreciation.
• Developing effective communications skills including the interpretation of cultural verbal and non-verbal communication patterns.
• Accommodating the needs of people from various ethnic cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds regardless of, and including but not limited to age, race, national origin, mental or physical ability, physical appearance, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, religious affiliation, and economic or perceived social status.
North Dakota State College of Science will hold students and staff who commit acts of intolerance accountable and responsible for their actions.
