Everett Community College Board of Trustees 2016 Post-Election Statement
Nov. 15, 2016
As we move through the completion of this election season, we are reminded of the increasingly critical role that education plays for our country today. Regardless of where we stand politically, advancing knowledge is our shared path to a prosperous future.
At this time in history, when our communities are confronted with a national climate of division and rhetoric of intolerance, we, the Board of Trustees and President of Everett Community College, reaffirm our resolute commitment to an open, equitable and safe educational experience for all members of our campus community.
Together, we promote and hold firm to the following:
- We affirm the inherent worth, dignity and uniqueness of every individual.
- We uphold a just, equitable and inclusive community.
- We value critical inquiry, debate, discovery and innovation in our classrooms and workplace.
- We value freedom of speech within an environment of civility and respect for varied opinions and beliefs.
- We hold zero tolerance for discrimination, threats, hate or violence.
Finally, we are unwavering in our commitment to upholding the vision, mission and core values of Everett Community College within a campus culture of respect, advocacy and engagement for all.
