Pledge

The Pledge was created by the Expect Respect Student Group and used regularly to define and inspire the spirit of the campaign. The pledge has been adapted for use for University of Michigan faculty and staff.

I pledge to actively respect all persons.

I will foster an
environment that values
both our similarities and
our differences.

I realize there are
perspectives other than
my own.

I will strive to be honest
and respectful in all my
interactions and will
presume good will.

I will honor this
commitment in my
classes, my personal life,
and all other pursuits on
and off campus.

I will invite others to
embrace this message.
