UIC Biological Sciences Principles of Community
The Biological Sciences department strives to develop a culture in which advancing racial equity and promoting an atmosphere of collegiality and inclusivity for all members is integral to its research and teaching missions.
We value all department members, including students, staff, and faculty, and embrace their diverse and distinctive identities, talents, and contributions to the department’s research and teaching efforts. We are a community, and all are vital.
We embrace freedom of expression for all department members and strive to promote courteous and respectful discourse, such that all department members feel comfortable to express opinions and make reasonable requests of each other without fear of retaliation.
We expect all department members to maintain integrity in their teaching and research efforts and behave respectfully towards one another.
We expect all department members to contribute to developing and maintaining environments in classrooms and laboratories in which the dignity of all is embraced and members feel safe from abuse of power, verbal abuse, and intimidation.
The department commits to enacting and supporting these principles.
