Community Respect

It's vital for our residents to feel valued and respected. The following statement guides our efforts.

“Each resident shares the responsibility of creating an environment in which all residents are respected and valued – regardless of one’s age, size, gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, color, creed, national origin, cultural background, socioeconomic status, or religious affiliation or conviction. Doing your part includes: getting to know people from different groups and cultures as individuals; challenging your biases; and reporting incidents of misconduct to Housing staff as soon as possible. Join us in embracing our differences and appreciating the unique perspectives each resident brings to the Cal Poly Humboldt experience.”

All Humboldt Housing & Residence Life halls, including Living Learning Communities and Theme & Cultural Communities, are open and inclusive to students of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and religious beliefs. As a department, we believe our residents should have equitable access to the learning opportunities we offer.
