These matters are best learned in collegiate settings that are rich with diversity and must be learned if the ideals of human work and dignity are to be advanced. The student body, faculty, and staff should both reflect and appreciate diversity. Bigotry Will Not Be Tolerated Any expression of hatred or prejudice is inconsistent with the purposes of higher education in a free society. In the KUMC community, bigotry must be forthrightly confronted. Although students are at KUMC to acquire knowledge through the use of their intellect, they feel as well as think.
Students are whole persons.
How they feel affects how well they think. While students are maturing intellectually, they are also developing physically, psychologically, socially, aesthetically, ethically, sexually, and spiritually, which is true regardless of age. Helping students understand and attend to these aspects of their lives will enhance their academic experiences. Student Involvement Enhances Learning and Effective Citizenship Learning is an active process. Students learn most effectively when they are productively, intellectually, and thoughtfully engaged in their work in the classroom, in the clinical setting, in the laboratory, and in student life.
