Equal Opportunity & Affirmative Action

Coalition for a Respectful U

The Coalition for a Respectful U is an open group of students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community members committed to a safe and inclusive campus climate for all students, employees, and visitors. The group works to achieve these goals through the sharing of social justice and campus climate related information, initiatives, and opportunities for collaboration. The Coalition for a Respectful U meetings are open to all individuals who wish to attend.

The Coalition does not assume universal agreement on any social justice or campus climate issues. Coalition members may choose to respond to issues with a shared voice, or participants may act independently. The primary focus is on the Twin Cities campus, but some discussions consider the system wide implications.

Please feel free to attend any or all meetings as you can. Bring your lunch if you wish.
