Student Handbook: Declaration of Tolerance
Adams State University
Relevant Excerpt
Tolerance is a personal decision that comes from a belief that every person is unique. To help make the University a better place for all, I pledge to have respect for people whose abilities, beliefs, culture, race, sexual identity or other characteristics are different from my own. To fulfill this pledge, I will:
• Examine my own biases and work to overcome them,
• Set a positive example for my family and friends,
• Work for tolerance in my own community, and
• Speak out against hate and injustice.
