Diversity Settings:
It is important to me that you know I LOVE that we all come to this course and this university from many different identity locations and with many different levels of ability. If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible.
Ball State University is committed to fostering and promoting a healthy learning community, and so am I. All students in this class will be treated with respect, tolerance, and equality regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender, age, or economic status. If for any reason any of you feel discriminated against in our classroom based on these differences, you should reach out to me or my department chair, Cathy Day. The Office of University Compliance or the Office of Student Rights and Community Standards may be contacted if you are not satisfied with the results of meeting with me and/or Cathy Day. The Ball State University community believes in the strength of diversity and recognizes the importance of appreciating equality.
I am proud that Ball State University aspires to be a university that attracts and retains a diverse faculty, staff and student body. We are always committed to ensuring that all members of the campus community are welcome through our practice of valuing the various experiences and world views of those we serve. We promote a culture of respect and civil discourse as evident in our Beneficence Pledge. For Bias Incident Response service information, go to bsu.edu/multiculturalcenter/bias or e-mail mc2@bsu.edu.
