Staff Senate is committed to an inclusive, respectful, and safe environment for all members of our community, where everyone can access the professional and educational opportunities they need to be successful at UM campuses. We recognize the unique strengths brought and challenges faced by members of our community in both personal and professional spaces, and we commit to valuing, respecting, and supporting all members of our UM community.

We believe that all aspects of our identities — our disability, ethnicity, first generation status, gender, military service, religion, socioeconomics, and whom we love — are our greatest strengths. Our commitment to the UM community extends to providing opportunities, support, and resources to ensure that staff can thrive professionally and personally. We fully endorse UM’s commitment to inclusive excellence outlined on the Inclusive Access and Success Plan  and at the Equal Opportunity & Title IV sites. Discrimination, harassment, or marginalization of any kind has no place at our institution, and we are dedicated to creating a workplace that is safe, welcoming, and affirming for all.

Staff Senate is a place where we continue to listen to the needs of our staff, advocate for meaningful change, and prioritize the well-being of every member of our community. Together we are stronger, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting and recognizing the value of every member of our community. UM is a place where everyone belongs. You matter, you are valued, and we are here to support you.

Sincerely,
Staff Senate
