<p class="MsoNormal">Dear DUE Colleagues, <span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we prepare for the fall quarter, I’d like to take a minute to reiterate the importance of our University’s Principles of Community. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The University of California, Riverside is committed to equitable treatment of all students, faculty and staff. UCR's faculty, staff and students are committed to creating an environment in which each person has the opportunity to grow
and develop, and is recognized for their contribution. </i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>There are three objectives that our campus must strive toward in order to achieve these goals. </i><o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><i>First, we must ensure that we have an environment that nurtures the intellectual and personal growth of our students, faculty and staff.</i><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><i>Second, we must ensure that our campus sets an example of respect for all people.</i><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><i>Third, we must ensure that our campus is a safe and welcoming environment for everyone</i><o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate the ongoing commitment to student success, equity, and inclusion in the Division of Undergraduate Education. We continue to represent ourselves as a dedicated and mindful staff who believe in the intellectual and personal growth
of all we encounter. The upcoming quarter may present several challenges in terms of national change (i.e. elections), ongoing global conflict,<b>
</b>and more. However, let’s remember to uphold our Principles of Community and work together to make our campus community a place where mutual respect prevails. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please take a moment to review the University’s <a href="https://documents.ucr.edu/chancellor/Principles_of_Community.pdf" title="https://documents.ucr.edu/chancellor/Principles_of_Community.pdf">Principles of Community</a>, which was recently
sent to the campus by Chancellor (see communication below).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to a productive and meaningful quarter, and year ahead.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">As we begin the new academic year, I want to reaffirm our
<a href="https://documents.ucr.edu/chancellor/Principles_of_Community.pdf">principles of community</a> and ensure that all UCR students and employees understand both the rights and the responsibilities of free expression in the campus context.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">This year we expect active discourse on a broad range of issues impacting our communities, nation, and world. Freedom of speech and the right to engage in nonviolent demonstrations are bedrock
principles throughout the University of California. In keeping with that tradition, there are many avenues for students, faculty, and staff to advocate for their views including organizing or joining peaceful demonstrations, participating in on-campus forums
and debates, and engaging with student, faculty, and staff organizations and committees. We actively encourage members to make your voices heard on issues that matter to you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">To ensure that everyone at UCR can express their perspectives while engaging fully in their learning, teaching, work, and research, the university must also take action to protect our community
from harassment or threats, impediments to access to classrooms and other buildings, and from violence of any kind. As a crucial space for dialogue, debate and discourse, we must comply with UC, state, and federal policies that protect the rights of expressive
activity, provide safeguards for state and federally protected identities, and ensure safe and timely access to our campuses for all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">The California Legislature requires the University of California system to maintain consistency of implementation and enforcement of these policies. I believe this requirement reinforces our
principles of community and values and encourages a healthy, thriving campus climate for all members of our UC community.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><a href="https://freespeech.ucr.edu/sb108"><b>This website</b></a> provides detailed information on policies, procedures, and enforcement consistent with the state’s requirements and our own
values. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">We look forward to a productive, vibrant, and welcoming year on our campus.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
