The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh community
values:
- Knowledge and Continuous
Learning. We
believe that the pursuit of knowledge, understanding, meaning, and
personal development should be encouraged across all stages of life.
- Diversity and Inclusivity.
We believe that a university community connects the perspectives and
backgrounds of diverse social and academic groups of people. To meet
this aim, a university community must be inclusive in its composition
and support a civil atmosphere and a tolerant environment for learning.
- Quality and Achievement.
We believe that the university should provide a wide range of high-quality
educational and scholarly opportunities that stimulate activity and
recognize achievement by students, faculty, and staff.
- Freedom and Responsibility.
We believe that members of a university community must be free to
pursue academic, artistic, and research agendas that are essential
to the University Mission, while contributing to an open and collegial
environment that promotes reasoned inquiry, intellectual honesty,
scholarly competence, and the pursuit of new knowledge.
- Engagement and Support.
We believe the vitality of ideas is supported by mutually reinforcing
relationships that involve students, faculty, staff, administrators,
and the broader community. The student-faculty relationship is the
most central relationship in the university. This spirit of engagement
must also extend beyond the borders of our campus as we seek to stimulate,
serve, and shape our society.
- Social Awareness
and Responsiveness.
We believe that educators and students should explore and engage the
challenges that confront regional, national, and global communities,
using their intellectual and creative capabilities to understand,
investigate, and solve problems. Social awareness will allow us to
respond to domestic and international needs for equitable and sustainable
societies.
