Addendum to the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities

Published August 31, 2022

Dear University of Michigan Community:

Welcome Home for the 2022-2023 academic year. As Wolverines, we have continued to cultivate a caring community for self and others and will continue to do so as we look forward to a year together in Ann Arbor. As we look toward the 2022-2023 academic year, it is right for us to reflect on the values we hold as individuals and the values we embrace as a community. The University values outlined in the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities are: Civility, dignity, diversity, education, equality, freedom, honesty, and safety.  These values stand as long-held community-defined commitments rooted in diversity, equity and inclusion and put into practice through a restorative approach. 

U-M's Scorecard for the INSPIRES (INterfaith, SPIritual, REligious, and Secular) Campus Climate Index

Published August 31, 2022

The INSPIRES Index is a tool that measures, evaluates, and represents an institution’s efforts toward establishing a welcoming climate for students of differing religious, secular, and spiritual identities. It is a collaboration between researchers at The Ohio State University and North Carolina State and was informed by data collected from students through the Interfaith Diversity Experiences and Attitudes Longitudinal Survey (IDEALS). A team of Student Life staff completed a questionnaire on behalf of U-M, and responses were used to determine a ‘star level’ that reflects the level of welcome, both overall and in seven specific domains. View the U-M scorecard in PDF format.
