Commitment and Pledge of

Safe Support, Advocacy, and Information

We, the faculty, staff, and administrators listed below, as self-identified open and affirming allies, believe that equal rights are human rights, and we pledge our full support and commitment to work toward providing a safe, confidential support network, and an atmosphere of celebration, dignity, and respect for all students, including all members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, allied, questioning, and queer (LGBTIAAQQ) community at the University of La Verne.

We acknowledge that we do not know all the answers concerning LGBT issues, and may even occasionally struggle with some issues ourselves.  We are, however, completely and fully committed to educating ourselves and others about oppression, heterosexism, and homophobia, and to combat them on a personal level, both as supporters of this essential core value of the University, and also as individuals who want to help create a safe and just world.
