In addition to soliciting your feedback, I am also asking for your help. As the Assistant Dean of Students, I am charged with a variety of tasks. One, in particular is that of investigating and adjudicating student misconduct. We often hear second and third hand accounts of alleged hate crimes and discriminatory behavior being perpetrated against GLBT students, but do not receive official reports or complaints. The mission and value statements in this document are not merely rhetoric.
La Crosse is free from threat, danger, and harassment.
Each institution of the University of Wisconsin System shares the mission of the System. The University of Wisconsin La Crosse strives to offer an environment that emphasizes teaching excellence and meets the educational and personal needs of students through effective teaching, academic advising, counseling, and university sponsored cultural, recreational, and extracurricular programs. Every member of the University community has the right to conduct his or her academic and social life in an environment that is free from threat, danger, harassment, or other disruption. UW La Crosse is proud to affirm its commitment to a community in which all students, staff, and faculty are accepted and seen as individuals. The purpose of this brochure is to provide general information, lend support, and offer referrals to resources on and off campus that can help make your experience at UW La Crosse a positive one.
