People are allowed to speak their mind, question others, and make mistakes in an effort to learn and without the fear of belittlement so long as they keep an open mind and do not intentionally attack others for their beliefs or identity. Those who do not respect the space or the rules will be expelled from the conversation and will be allowed to re-enter after consideration by the committee of Diversity. Equity, and Inclusion at MI (DEIMI).<\/p>\n This is a space of education and challenge. We cannot guarantee that someone will not say something you disagree with or that might offend you. We can guarantee that if someone says something offensive, we will discuss why that is offensive with that person and the committee will decide whether or not to remove that person from future DEIMI meetings.<\/p>\n Students do not have to fear for repercussions of any kind for anything said during these discussions. These conversations, while not completely private, will be kept confidential and will not affect grades, enrollment, graduation, or anything related to academics at MI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n\n\n \n Vision Statements<\/h2>\n
