DU正在思考如何让我们所有人都能更周到地参与进来, authentically, and respectfully with one another. 这意味着要努力培养一种归属感和包容性,同时也要努力为各种挑战腾出空间, evidence-based ideas and perspectives.
我们认为,高等教育必须努力维护一些核心价值观, including intellectual curiosity, academic freedom and thought pluralism. 这些价值观对民主的运作至关重要. Moreover, 它们对知识的进步至关重要——这是我们作为一所学习和研究机构所做的核心工作. Read more about our commitment in our Freedom of Expression Policy.
For Our Students
The world is not intellectually, politically, spiritually, 或者是文化上的同质性——永远也不会. As part of DU’s 4D Experience, 我们的学生建立技能和经验,与丰富的思想和观点,构成了世界.
For Democracy
Democracy flourishes in the light. And so, 当我们在谈话中相遇时,我们会保持好奇和开放, 当我们遇到一个挑战我们先入为主观念的想法时, and when someone raises their hand to say, “I see that differently…”
For Diversity
民间话语意味着参与不同于我们自己的声音和观点. 这是我们致力于多样性的核心, equity and inclusion, 它确保了在谈判桌上总有一个席位.
How We're Committing to Curiosity
Through the DU 4D Experience, 我们帮助学生建立他们在大学期间和以后取得成功所需的生活技能. Using existing research across DU’s colleges, 我们为学生提供课堂内外的机会,让他们遇到新的或具有挑战性的想法,磨练他们分享观点和向他人学习的能力.
