A liberal arts education, by definition, should liberate minds. This process is enhanced in a community that is committed to educational equity, diversity, and unrestricted inquiry. We seek therefore to foster an environment of mutual respect, acceptance, appreciation, and caring for all members of our community. To this end, Albion College condemns all forms of discrimination and harassment, while reaffirming our commitment to academic free speech. We also commit ourselves to the recruitment and retention of both women and minority faculty, staff, and students, the integration of cultural diversity in the curriculum, and the development of a truly inclusive multicultural campus environment.

Approved by the Albion College Faculty and the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, 1991-92.

 

Break The Silence strongly encourages students who have been a victim of discrimination or hate-crimes on campus to bring these issues to campus safety. There is no way to stop these issues unless we take action. In addition, an individual can always report stuff anonymously. Campus Safety's Policy of that claims:

"Students wishing to remain anonymous, or victims who wish that no action be taken, may still report the incident in a confidential manner to any Student Affairs staff member. Information regarding the date, location and type of incident, as well as a brief description of the incident, must be provided so that the incident can be properly classified. The staff member receiving this information in a confidential manner will forward it to the director of campus safety so that the incident can be included in the College’s annual crime statistics. Only the information described above will be provided; the identity of the reporting person will remain confidential."

Just remember...
we always have your back at Break the Silence!
