Message from President James Ramsey

To members of the university community:

The University of Louisville is committed to building a community in which the dignity of every individual is respected. Key to this goal are efforts to foster and nurture an environment of civility and mutual respect by preventing sexual harassment on our campus.

We must all work together in this important endeavor as we strive to achieve a common understanding of what constitutes appropriate behavior and a shared awareness of what constitutes sexual harassment. At the university, we live and work in a culture that defines itself in terms of intellectual exchange, appreciation of individual differences and respect for each individual's personal dignity. Together, we can create and maintain an environment that provides the support and opportunity for each member of our community to prosper and achieve.

Please join us in working to maintain a community free of sexual harassment, a community where every individual can live, work and learn with dignity and mutual respect, free from issues and situations that weaken our commitment to each other and to the institution.

James Ramsey
President
